A CHINESE CELADON-GLAZED 'LOTUS' DISH 冬青莲瓣盘

The dish is formed with a foliate rim and shallow rounded sides. The interior and central medallion are decorated in incised, impressed, or moulded low relief with multiple radiating bands of lotus petals, arranged around a dotted lotus-seed pod. It is covered overall in a pale celadon glaze, bluish-white in the thinner areas and sea-green where the glaze pools. The base is glazed and bears an underglaze-blue six-character Qianlong seal mark. 盘作花口，浅弧腹，内壁及盘心以暗刻、模印或压印工艺作多层莲瓣纹。莲瓣自盘心向外层层旋展，盘心作莲蓬点纹。通体施淡青釉，釉色青中泛白，局部积釉处呈浅湖绿色，凸处釉薄而色浅，凹处釉厚而色深。底部满釉，圈足一周呈褐色护胎或窑烧痕，底心书青花篆书“大清乾隆年制”六字款。
