PLATE XXXVIII
Plate with flat bottom and narrow, flat foot-rim. Greyish
white porcellanous ware burnt red on the raw edge of the
foot-rim. Thick opalescent glaze of bluish colour with
patches and suffusions of purple frosted with green. The
base is glazed.
Plates of this typical Sung form sometimes have a ring of
spur-marks on the base recalling those of the Chun ware
bulb-bowls. This particular specimen is a fine example of
the gorgeous effect produced by the skilful use of copper in
different conditions.
Kuan ware. Sung dynasty. D. 74".
In the possession of the Misses Alexander.
