A Ding-type dish with moulded decoration – Song Dynasty - SOLD
This shallow dish has gently rounded sides and is moulded on the interior with two phoenix birds in flight among flowers. It is covered overall with a clear glaze of warm yellowish tone, except for the mouth rim which is bound in metal. Dishes with similar moulded motif were produced in the Ding kilns in 12th/13th century. This dish was probably made in Hebei, but not necessarily in the Ding kilns. Body is not as hard as the standard Ding ware, and clay is less pure.
