The Ding kilns created some of the most prestigious ceramics in the Northern Song and Jin dynasties, which enjoyed popularity not only at the Northern Song and Jin imperial courts but even, as has recently been discovered, at the court of the Southern Song, located far away in Hangzhou in South China. Ding wares are among the most delicately potted vessels, and their fine near-white body, thin, translucent, ivory-tinged glaze, and understated decoration give them an elegant and precious appearance and a distinctive identity.

The current vase’s distinctive shape, termed huakouping (vase with foliate mouth rim), was first introduced during the Tang dynasty and became a popular shape employed at a variety of kilns during the Song dynasty, especially the Cizhou kilns. For an example of a Cizhou vase of this shape, see Tsugio Mikami, Sekai toji Zenshu 13 Liao Jin Yuan, Shogakukan, Tokyo, p. 243, no. 278.

The high esteem in which a Ding bottle was held at the Qing court can be gleaned from a smaller (15.9 cm) undecorated example with tall slender neck, everted rim and depressed globular body, with a low footring instead of a splayed foot, preserved in the National Palace Museum, Taipei, which was inscribed on the base with a poem by the Qianlong Emperor dated to the year 1773, apparently the only comparable piece preserved in the National Palace Museum; see Yu Peichin, De jia qu. Qianlong Huangdi de taoci pinwei/Obtaining Refined Enjoyment: The Qianlong Emperor’s Taste in Ceramics, National Palace Museum, Taipei, 2012, cat. no. 4.
