196 - A pair of Chinese Longquan celadon glazed dishesSouthern Song Dynasty, 12th centuryfinely potted with a shallow rounded body and foliate rim, covered overall in a lustrous celadon glaze stopping on the foot rim, the base impressed with a four-character mark He Bin Yi Fan ('Exemplary Model from the Riverside')16cm diameterProvenance:A Private UK CollectionDishes of this type belong to a well-established group of foliate-rimmed Longquan celadon wares produced during the Southern Song Dynasty, a time when kiln production reached its technical and aesthetic peak. The refined silhouette, rich glaze quality, and understated inscription together exemplify the cultivated restraint and material sophistication that define the finest Longquan ceramics.The inscription '河濱遺范' is generally interpreted as an allusion to the ancient narrative of pottery-making by the Yellow River banks, symbolising exemplary craftsmanship. Compare with a very similar bowl with five-lobed foliate rim and the same impressed mark, published in Zhu Boqian (ed.), Longquan Kiln Celadon, Taipei: Art Media Resources Publishing, 1998, p. 126, fig. 91.
