(2)Dingzhou patterned porcelains rival the beauty of carved red jade, When Lugong brews tea in Sichuan style.by Su Shi (1037-1101), Poem on Tea Brewing at the Examination HallIn his 1072 poem Shiyuan jiancha (Tea Brewing at the Examination Hall), the Northern Song literatus and statesman Su Shi recalled an occasion when his friend Wen Yanbo brewed tea in a carved Ding white-glazed bowl, noting that the red hue of the tea resembled carved red jade against the luminous glaze. This account shows that Ding bowls were not only used for tea drinking but were also prized by Song literati for the striking contrast between the white glaze and the tea's color. Su Shi's later appointment as Governor of Dingzhou in 1093—home to the Ding kilns—further underscored his close association with these wares, and his praise helped establish their enduring prestige.The present bowl is particularly desirable for its elegant form, fluent carving, and resplendent glaze. By the late Northern Song period, the Ding kilns peaked in the production of carved decoration and the technique of inverted firing (fushao) was in widespread use. Carved decoration involved intricately etched patterns on the surface of the porcelain before glazing, often depicting delicate floral motifs or abstract designs. This method added a layer of visual depth and texture to the pieces, enhancing their elegance. The fushao technique, or inverted firing, required placing the porcelain upside down in the kiln, often atop a bed of ash. This process ensured a smooth, even glaze and allowed for the precise control of color and sheen, resulting in a refined and lustrous finish that became a hallmark of Ding ware. These combined techniques produced works of exceptional beauty and sophistication, exemplifying the high point of Song dynasty porcelain craftsmanship.Literature comparison:Compare a closely related Ding carved bowl, dated to the Northern Song dynasty, 11th-12th century, 22.8 cm diameter, formerly in the Oppenheim Collection and now in the British Museum, registration number 1947,0712.59, illustrated in The World's Great Collections: Oriental Ceramics, vol. 5., pl. 20.
