Longquan wares first appeared in the Song Dynasty and were produced in the southwestern part of Zhejiang province. Their glossy, rich, greenish glazes garnered much attention, especially towards the Ming Dynasty. It is recorded that in the Taizu year 1393, the first Emperor of the Ming Dynasty specially commissioned for some vessels to be produced at both the Longquan and Jingdezhen kilns, which signifies the parallel importance of these two kilns to the Imperial court. It is also stated that during his reign, eunuchs were sent periodically to these kilns to oversee and supervise the manufacture of ceramics.

Expert remark: Compare the related form, with a similar everted and barbed rim, and carved decoration, with a similar petal band and peony blossoms, albeit arguably less pronounced. Note also the similar size (30.5 cm).
