Specialist note
A very similar Longquan celadon bowl is illustrated by R. Krahl, Chinese Ceramics from the Meiyintang Collection, vol. 3 (II), London, 2006, p. 583, no. 1572. The barbed form appears to be based on a prototype in silver, such as the silver-gilt bowl illustrated in Zhongguo wenwu jinghua doquan; Jin yin yu shi juan (Complete Masterpieces of Chinese Cultural Relics; Gold, Silver, Jade and Stone), Hong Kong, 1994, p. 139, no. 146, which was recovered from a Song dynasty hoard at Pingqiao, Liyang, in Jiangsu province.
