A Ding Ware Dish with a Scalloped Rim

A Ding Ware Dish with a Scalloped Rim Ching-Ling Wang Ding ware is one of the five most famous types of ceramics (the others are Ru ware, Ding ware, guan ware, Jun ware and ge ware) of the Song dynasty (960–1279) and was the most outstanding white stoneware of its time.

Abstract

Ching-Ling Wang Ding ware is one of the five most famous types of ceramics (the others are Ru ware, Ding ware, guan ware, Jun ware and ge ware) of the Song dynasty (960–1279) and was the most outstanding white stoneware of its time. The use of Ding ware in the Northern Song (960–1127) imperial household testifies to its high quality. It was the most distinctive of the many white wares in China. As Cao zhao mentioned in his Gegu yaolun, a treatise on collecting and assessing antiques published in 1388: Of ancient Ding ware, specimens with a fine (and unctuous) paste and white and lustrous glaze are valuable; while those which are coarse and yellow in colour are less so. genuine pieces have ‘tear drops’ (leihen) on the outside. The best have incised designs; the second best are plain; and of third quality are those with very elaborate patterns (xiuhua) [impressed patterns]. The best Ding wares were produced in the Xuanhe and zhenghe reign-periods (1119-1125 and 1111-1117 respectively), but it is very difficult to produce them in sets.
