PLATE LXXII

Bottle, with pear-shaped body, slender neck, and spreading
lip. Grey porcellanous ware with green celadon glaze and

splashes of lustrous brown. This spotted celadon is known
by the Japanese (who prize it greatly) as tobi seiji or " buck
wheat " celadon. The spots are formed by dabs of glaze
containing ferric oxide ; and the type was doubtless at first
the outcome of accidental spotting of the celadon glaze which

owes its colour to ferrous oxide.
Lung-ch'iian ware. Sung dynasty. H. 1075".
In the possession of Mr. George Eumorfopoulos.
