This shallow dish has a flaring mouth and straight slanting sides. It is undecorated except for an incised line below the rim around the inner walls. An even grey-green glaze covers the whole dish. This dish was produced in one of the kilns in South China during the Yuan dynasty (1279-1368). This dish could have been produced for the domestic market or for export. The thriving ceramic trade which was established in the preceding Song dynasty (960-1279) was maintained by the Yuan dynasty. Ceramics were exported worldwide to diverse places such as Southeast Asia, the Middle East and Europe.
