A DING-TYPE RUSSET-GLAZED DISH
Northern Song Dynasty (A.D. 960-1127)
with thinly potted flaring sides angled up from a broad recessed base to a lipless rim divided into six petal-lobes by evenly spaced shallow notches, covered inside and out with a rich reddish-brown glaze which drains to show a lighter tone at the rim and stops just above the finely carved ring foot with crisply cut unglazed edge, revealing the very pale buff porcelaneous stoneware body.
Diameter 6 7⁄8 inches (17.5 cm)
A very similar dish is illustrated in Chinese Ceramics at the National Museum of Korea, Seoul, 2007, p. 175, no. 84; and another example of the same form and size is illustrated in the catalogue by Lefebvre d’Argencé, The Hans Popper Collection of Oriental Art, Japan, 1973, p. 166, no. 115.
A similar dish of slightly larger size is illustrated in Sō dai no toji (Sung Ceramics), Idemitsu Museum of Arts, Tokyo, 1979, no. 76; and the same dish is illustrated in the catalogue of the special exhibition at the Osaka Municiple Museum entitled Sō Gen no bijutsu (The Arts of the Song and Yuan), Tokyo, 1980, col. pl. no. 32B. Another example, also of slightly larger size, is illustrated in the catalogue of the London Oriental Ceramic Society, The Arts of the Sung Dynasty, O.C.S.
