Celadon Round Ge Dish with Compartments

The ge dish is also known as the “fruit tray”. There is one rectangular ge tray unearthed from a Jin burial at Nanchang, Jiangxi province, which bore the inscription “ge of Wu’s” on the foot. As the shape of these trays is consistent throughout this period, the ancient names seems clear. This period‘s ge usually is rectangular, with one big compartment and eight smaller ones. Initially they had flat bottoms but later the square ring foot was developed.
