This is an antique Chinese celadon plate from the Ming Dynasty, 1368-1644, so it is over 500 years old. It is 9-1/4" in diameter, 1-3/4" high. There is an elegant and decorative barbed rim with fluting on the inner border with scrolling decoration that may be calligraphy. The glaze is a deep grayish green, and the plate is heavily potted and weighs two pounds, typical of the period. There are no chips, just two light cracks that emanate from the rim. The longer one is 2-1/2" long, and the other is just under 2". Shipping and insurance are additional. You may view additional items at www.anitataub.rubylane.com
