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.
