PLATE LXVI

Fig. i. Bowl of conical form with small foot; fluted on the

exterior in petal pattern. Soft greenish grey glaze finely

crackled with irregular lines. The unglazed edge of the base-
rim shows a buff-white ware which has browned on the
surface in the kiln. The glaze has the dull lustre of marble.

This bowl may be either a specimen of Ko yao (i.e. made by

the school of potters founded by the elder brother Chang in
the Lung-ch'iian district), or an example of the Tung Ch'ing
ware (Eastern celadon) produced at one of the Honan factories,
in the neighbourhood of Kaifeng.

Sung dynasty. D. 67".
In the possession of Mr. P. David.

Fig. 2. Flower-pot of cylindrical form with three small feet.
Greyish white porcellanous ware with three lotus designs in

applied relief and a soft grey-green celadon glaze. The body
has turned a rusty brown at the base-rim where exposed to

the fire.

Lung-ch'iian ware. Sung or Yuan dynasty. D. 58".
In the possession of Mr. P. David.
