More InformationDing Wares of the Song and Jin Dynasties
Ding ceramics are primarily white-glazed wares made since the Tang dynasty (618–907) at kilns centered in Quyang, Hebei province in northeastern China. They are notable for mold‑impressed, incised, and carved decorations as well as their eye-catching “teardrop” glaze that is created by drips on thickly applied areas. During the Northern Song dynasty (960–1127), Ding kilns occasionally supplied the imperial court.
