PLATE XL

Flower vase of double-gourd shape. Reddish buff stone-
ware with thick lustrous glaze of pale lavender tint lightly

crackled and splashed in front with dull purple. The glaze

has run in a thick welt round the edge of the foot-rim and the

base is glazed. For a note on the " soft Chun " ware see
preceding plate. The shape of this vase seems to point
definitely to a Ming date.

" Soft Chun." Ming dynasty. H. 7-4".
In the possession of Mr. P. David.
