Southern Ding Plate, China, Song-Yuan dynasties

Descriptio Ding-type glazed ceramic. Measurements: diameter: 16 cm. An elegant plate from the Southern Ding kilns, produced during the Song or Yuan dynasties. It features an open profile body with a gently everted rim and a delicate floral motif incised in the center, executed with great subtlety glaze with slight bluish undertones. The surface reveals the characteristic transparency and smoothness of Ding glazes, while the base displays an unglazed ring foot, a distinctive feature of these ware. The refined simplicity of its form, combined with the delicacy of the incised decoration and the extraordinary quality of the glaze, makes this piece a magnificent example of Chinese ceramics produced between the late Song and early Yuan dynasties, highly prized by international collectors and museums. Bibliography: Comparable examples are held in the Palace Museum in Beijing, the National Palace Museum in Taipei, and the British Museum, corresponding to Southern Ding ceramics from the Song and Yuan dynasties.
