Chopsi
Pottery: Unknown (Probably)
Small dish with peony design. Stoneware, moulded and celadon-glazed. The small dish (chopsi) is of ten-petalled floral shape. It is moulded with a large peony flower in the centre and simplified peonies round the sides, in low relief. The pale bluish-green glaze is glossy and finely crackled. The base is flat, wiped free of glaze and shows traces of sandy fire-clay supports.
