Celadon Yaozhou Olive-Green Glaze Nine Dragons Plate

Product Specifications Capacity: N/A Diameter: 24.0cm Height: 4.0cm Material: Yaozou Clay & Celadon Glaze Food Safe: Yes Packaging: Premium gift box During the Northern Song dynasty, both Yaozhou ware and Longquan celadon stood as outstanding representatives of Chinese celadon ceramics. Yaozhou kilns originated in the north, and unlike the southern Longquan kilns, they placed greater emphasis on ceramic decoration and carving. While Longquan celadon is known for its plum-green glaze, Yaozhou ware is characterized by its signature olive-green glaze. The carving on this plate is sharp and vigorous, with a strong three-dimensional effect. The carved scene depicts "Nine Dragons Playing with a Pearl," a common motif in Chinese art. The nine dragons symbolize supreme power and nobility; the pearl represents wisdom, wealth, and illumination. The plate has a diameter of 24 cm and can be used as a teapot drip tray, a serving plate, a fruit or snack dish, or as a decorative display piece.
