The high-fired body is white and covered in a transparent glaze appearing darker where it’s thicker. The base and lowest part of the body are unglazed, and the exposed clay has turned to a buff colour in the firing process. This type of bowl was fired from high Tang period up to Five Dynasties. This example was most probably produced by the Xing or Ding kilns in Hebei. The relatively warm glaze appearance might point to a Ding origin.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"mso-ansi-language: EN-US;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"mso-ansi-language: EN-US;\"\u003ePeriod:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"mso-ansi-language: EN-US;\"\u003e Tang dynasty \/ Five dynasties (9\u003csup\u003eth\u003c\/sup\u003e-10\u003csup\u003eth\u003c\/sup\u003e Century)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"mso-ansi-language: EN-US;\"\u003eSize: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"mso-ansi-language: EN-US;\"\u003eDiameter 21.2 cm, height 7.1 cm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"mso-ansi-language: EN-US;\"\u003eCondition: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"mso-ansi-language: EN-US;\"\u003eVery good condition, wear\/scratches and firing flaws, no cracks or repairs found under UV-light.
