AN IMPERIAL CELADON-GLAZED INK PALETTE

QING DYNASTY, QIANLONG SIX-CHARACTER MARK AND OF THE PERIOD (1736-1795)

LENGTH: 11.2CM

The ink palette is modelled in the form of a large cloud-shaped lingzhi fungus flanked by a smaller lingzhi, both issuing from a single branch. The ink palette is covered overall with a pale celadon glaze and the underside reveals six small spur marks, in imitation of Song Dynasty Ru ware. A six-character 大清乾隆年製 ‘Da Qing Qianlong Nianzhi’ mark in archaic script in underglaze blue is inscribed on the base.
