A remarkable and rare square shaped celadon glazed base or pedestal

This celadon vase is covered in green glaze. The interior inclining rim remained unglazed and burned is reddish-brown in the firing as it is characteristic of the period.
Dimensions: 9.5cm x 7.8cm, Height: 6cm
Style of: Yuan (1279-1368), Origin: Longquan, age determination uncertain
Comp. Sotheby's Cat. 93, no 2 (?)
