南宋 龙泉窑青釉盘口胆瓶

拍品来源：W. R. Hodgson 上校于上世纪五十年代在日本知名的宋瓷学者、东洋陶瓷学会委员长小山富士夫教授指导下于东京所购

Condition Report:
Scratches to the glaze and several old chips largely to the underside of the foot rim, the green glaze more pronounced on one side of the vase than the other as in the firing. The glaze looks green in natural light but much less so in artificial light.
