Description: Black glazed tea-bowl. AD 1000-1127. Northern Song dynasty. Quyang, Ding prefecture, Hebei province. Sir Percival David Collection, British Museum. Quotation of the museum: Ding potters manufactured vessels of exquisite quality with pure white bodies, but also added coloured glazes. This example is coated in a solution rich in iron-oxide which, when fired, gives it a glossy ink-black color. Song dynasty writers celebrated black and brown wares, associating them with luxurious lacquer wares. It has a copper rim which enhances its status.
