About MeLimoges porcelain shallow bowl with straight sides and standing on 3 feet. The feet are unglazed and decorated with impressed seal marks.
Glazed all over in a pale blue celadon crackle glaze with unglazed band around base.
Crackle glaze is the term for a decorative technique, originating in China, of deliberately introducing numerous minute surface cracks. Celadon glazes also came from the Far East and are frequently found in shades of pale green and pale blue, the colour changing depending on the quantity of iron oxide added to the glaze before it is fired.
