Physical Description:
A short glazed and speckled gray porcelain offering dish for an altar. The base is a small, tapered cylinder which then becomes the base of a slighlt deep dish. The gray glaze has some green coloration throughout the piece.
The glaze has vivid blue-green tints, lending it the appearance of celadon. The foot has coarse sand spur marks on the entire surface. This is a low-quality dish with its tray contaminated by many flecks of ash, and it is a product of a regional kiln.
