A Chinese Longquan kiln celadon jar; Ming dynasty

A Chinese, Longquan kiln, celadon jar with incised geometrical decoration; Ming dynasty, C16th. Although rare in this small size, this jar has not been reduced, as there are traces of glaze on the mouth rim. Originally, it would have had a cover.
 
Height; approximately 12 cm
 
Condition; with some age-related wear. There is a discreet old restoration, where a 1.5 cm long chip has been reattached; it can be seen in the photo.
