A SMALL MOLDED DING DISH
JIN DYNASTY (1115-1234)
The center of the interior is molded with a
rhinoceros shown recumbent on a rock amidst
wind-tossed waves, its head turned to look at the
crescent moon and constellations above, all below
bands of foliate scroll and key fret in the well. The
dish is covered inside and out below the copper-
bound rim with a glaze of slightly dark ivory tone
that continues over the narrow foot ring to cover
the base.
5√ in. (15 cm.) diam.
$6,000-8,000

It is rare to fnd the ‘rhinoceros gazing the moon’
scene on Ding wares. Compare two Jin dynasty
Ding dishes molded with the same scene but with
rhinoceros on the left side of the composition, in
the National Palace Museum, Taipei, illustrated by
by Tsai Meifen, Decorated Porcelains of Dingzhou:
White Ding Wares from the Collection of the
National Palace Museum, Taipei, 2014, pp. 177-78,
nos. II-116-17. It is interesting to note that second
dish in the National Palace Museum has the same 1313
key-fret and foliate borders as the present dish.
