The Lobed Dish: Guan ware is a circular dish. The dish has a beige color with a cracked glaze effect. The cracks are dark brown and form a network of lines across the surface. The cracks form concentric circles toward the center. The edge of the dish has a scalloped shape. The background is dark at the top and lightens toward the bottom. A shadow is cast by the dish onto the surface below.
