A XINGYAO WHITE PORCELAIN BOWL-STAND
Late Tang/Early Five Dynasties, A.D. 9th Century
following a silver shape, the shaped circular saucer with recessed center with raised wedge-shaped rim surrounded by wide flaring sides tapering to a thin edge divided by five rolled-over indentations curled in towards the center, covered inside and out with a glossy transparent glaze of pale greenish tone, the knife-pared ring foot left unglazed revealing the fine white porcelain body.
Diameter 5 7⁄8 inches (15 cm)
Compare the white porcelain bowl-stand of very similar form, with five narrow ribs between the curled indentations around the rim, illustrated by Gyllensvärd in Chinese Ceramics in the Carl Kempe Collection, Stockholm, 1964, p. 113, no. 341, where it is described as Xingyao.
Compare also the white porcelain bowl-stand of this form and design excavated from a Dingyao kiln site in Quyang, Hebei province, dated to the Five Dynasties period, illustrated in Kaogu, 1965, No. 8, pl. 8, nos. 5 and 8, with line drawing on p. 403, no. 3. A related bowl-stand joined to a porcelain bowl was included in the special exhibition at the Nezu Institute of Fine Arts, illustrated in the catalogue entitled Tang Pottery and Porcelain, Tokyo, 1988, no. 24, p. 34, with illustrations of related pieces from the Quyang kiln site discovery reproduced on pp. 124–125.
