PLATE CI

Bottle with pear-shaped body and tall, slender neck with
flat, spreading mouth-rim. Buff ware with black glaze, and a
free design of ducks and lotus plants painted in white and

black slips.

This is a most unusual technique on Chinese wares, though

—it is closely paralleled on some early Persian so-called Gabri
—wares.

Probably Honan ware. Sung dynasty. H. 8- 75".
In the possession of Mr. George Eumorfopoulos.
