Given the prestige and high value bestowed on Ding wares,
$ 4,000-6,000
as early as the 14th century, the potters of Jingdezhen
ably produced forms in homage to the famous ware. The
北宋 定窰系白釉花口罐 skill required to recreate Ding ware was considerable and
those who succeeded gained an element of fame. Zhou
來源 Danquan, active in the 16th -17th century, is mentioned in the
Abhaya Asian Antiques，香港，2003年11月 Jingdezhen Taolu, noting that his wares, ‘were so close to
the originals as to be without parallel.’ One piece considered
to be a late Ming replacement, from the Sir Percival David
Collection and now in the British Museum, London is
illustrated in Margaret Medley, Illustrated Catalogue of Ting
and Allied Wares, Percival David Foundation of Chinese Art,
736 London, 1980, pl. 58.
