Foliated dish Ge ware

Yuan AD 1271 - 1368
Least understood of the five famous Song porcelains. Ge ware dates from late Southern Song or Yuan. The so called millet glaze is typical but grayish green glazes with crackles also occur. A glaze with large black crackles and small yellow crackles is called jinsitiexian (gold thread and iron wire)
