sides. Compare to a deep Ding bowl of similar form, also
with straight sides and unglazed foot, but of slightly larger
size (11.6 cm.) and with carved decorations on the exterior,
discovered in the Ding kiln site in Jianciling, Quyang, exhibited
at The Museum of Oriental Ceramics, Osaka, Ding Ware: The
World of White Elegance. Recent Archaeological Findings,
Osaka, 2013, no. 34. Compare also to a slightly larger Ding
plain bowl of similar form (11 cm.), but paired with a cover, in
the Palace Museum Collection, illustrated in Porcelain of the
Song Dynasty (I), The Complete Collection of Treasures of the
Palace Museum, Hong Kong, 1996, no. 58.
