Dishes with fattened rims and a low ridge running around the
edge appear in silver from the Tang dynasty, which is when
this precious metal began to be used on a more regular basis for
fne vessels. Several scholars have noted the closeness of form
between silver and Ding white wares, and it has been suggested
that the ceramics may have, on occasion, been used to ‘fll out’
the number of silver vessels in sets. One silver dish of related
form, dated to the Song dynasty and decorated with creatures
emerging from waves, was excavated in 1983 at Suiningxian,
and is illustrated in Zhongguo meishu quanji: gongyi meishu bian
10, Beijing, 1987, no. 105. Compare, also, a gold dish and a
silver dish of similar form, both dated to the Song dynasty and
decorated with fower sprays, illustrated in Chinesisches Gold und
Silber Die Sammlung Pierre Uldry, Zurich, 1994, nos. 272 and
273.

Two Ding dishes of related form, but somewhat larger than the
present dish, are illustrated in The Complete Collection of Treasures
of the Palace Museum - 32 - Porcelain of the Song Dynasty (I), Hong
Kong, 1996, p. 79, no. 67 (27.4 cm. diam.) and p. 81, no. 72
(30.5 cm. diam.).
