PLATE XLIX
Saucer dish of white porcellanous ware with ivory white
glaze and a splendidly carved design of a three-clawed dragon
pursuing a pearl. The edge of the rim is unglazed, and the
base is glazed, showing the usual " tear drop " formation.
The dish is more heavily built than is usual in the Ting ware
to allow of the deeper type of carving.
Ting ware. Sung dynasty. D. 11-25".
In the possession of the Misses Alexander.
