This Longquan celadon figure is defined by a composed frontal presence: half-lidded eyes, a calm oval face, and a hooded mantle that reads as a single, clean silhouette. The robe is modeled with restrained but deep folds—glaze pools in the recesses into a richer olive tone, while the raised edges fire thinner and lighter, sharpening the relief and giving the carving real definition. The color shifts naturally from jade-like grey-green to mossy depths, with fine peppered speckling and subtle kiln character on the surface—an understated, materially convincing piece where form and glaze do the work. Period: Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) Region: Longquan, China Medium: Stoneware - Celadon glazed, with a range from heavy grey to almost white porcelain-like material Type: Sculpture Height : 24.5 cm Provenance : Acquired in 1999, Hongkong * Ming Dynasty Longquan Celadon Longquan celadon from the Ming Dynasty typically exhibits a more robust and heavier stoneware body compared to its Song Dynasty predecessors. The Ming era saw an evolution in celadon glaze, achieving a wider spectrum of green hues, from olive to bluish-greens. Ming celadons...
