Chinese Imperial Tribute: Northern Song Dynasty Ding Kiln White Ware Saucer-Formed Mouth Vase 
Joseph.Sharon@chinesemasterpieces.com
This exquisite specimen of Chinese ancient fine art is an Imperial vase from the Northern Song Dynasty, specifically characterized by its distinguished Ding kiln white ware. The vase showcases an intricate design featuring lotus leaves encircling the foot, draped cord buttons, and floral motifs adorning its body. Notably, it possesses a bowstring neck and a saucer-shaped head. The vase is finished with an ivory-colored transparent glaze that covers an off-white body, exhibiting distinctive tear streaks within the glaze. A hallmark of authenticity, the fire-gilded bands encircling the head and base display a porous nature, adorned with reddish cuprite and greenish botryoidal malachite corrosion, which has developed through the porous surface of the gilt. This corrosion serves as a testament to the vase's age and integrity, providing a more trustworthy means of authentication than thermoluminescence (TL) testing, a view upheld by experts in the field of ancient Chinese artifacts. While the vase is unmarked, its elaborate features suggest that it may be a tribute piece due to the presence of the fire-gilded band. The dimensions of the vase are approximately 11.5 inches in height. ppjrs
