Chinese Yuan dynasty Longquan olive-colored celadon glazed stem-cup (wine cup), the exterior with a faintly incised vertical ribbing. The glaze stops short of the base. The paste is rough and reddish and the foot is beveled inward. Circa 14th century. 3 7/8” high x 4 ¾” diameter. Very good overall condition. A fine old hairline crack has been restored and is not visible to the eye (see enlargements 7 and 8 for close-ups of the restored areas). There is burial encrustation adhering. From the private collection of a former American expatriate to Guangzhou in 1983-1984.
