Brown-and Black Glazed Ceramics, 400-1400, Cambridge, 1996,
pp. 140-42, no. 37a&b, where the author notes that the “sherds of
related, light-bodied bowls with partridge-feather glazes excavated
from the second stratum of the Cizhou-type Guantai kilns, in
Hebei province, often have unglazed but well-cut footrings and
shallow bases akin to those seen here, suggesting a possible kiln of
manufacture.” Compare, also, a bowl of this type, with rounded
sides and fared rim, illustrated in Black Porcelain from the Mr. &
Mrs. Yeung Wing Tak Collection, Guangzhou, 1997, pp. 220-21,
no. 108.
