PLATE XCIX

Fig. i. Vase with ovoid body shaped in six lobes, short neck and
wide mouth. Buff ware with deep smooth reddish brown
glaze, of the colour known to the Japanese as " kaki " ; glazed
base. At certain parts of the vessel the glaze shows a black
underneath, indicating that the brown effect is superficial and
caused by excess of ferric oxide coming out of the glaze on
cooling and being deposited on the surface.
Probably Honan ware. Sung dynasty. H. 3-75".
In the possession of Mr. George Eumorfopoulos.

Fig. 2. Shallow bowl with wide mouth, straight sides, and narrow
foot. Light buff ware with rich black glaze spotted with red-

brown. The glaze stops short of the foot, and has run thinly
at the mouth-rim. The red-brown spots have the appearance

of flecks of glaze of different composition spattered on to the
main glaze.

Honan ware. Sung dynasty. H. 75".
In the possession of Mr. George Eumorfopoulos.
