About the Item

This Han Dynasty green-glazed dish exhibits significant signs of wear, indicative of its age and the long passage of time it has witnessed. The glaze, once vibrant, now shows substantial corrosion and deterioration, revealing the delicate nature of its craftsmanship and the fragility of its historical journey. The dish's surface is marred with patches where the glaze has been lost, a testament to the many centuries it has endured. Despite these imperfections, the object retains a remarkable elegance, offering a tangible connection to the past and serving as a valuable artifact for both study and appreciation in a museum setting.
