NoteInspired by lacquers of the period, dishes of mallow-shape are rarely found among persimmon-glazed wares. A similar persimmon-glazed mallow-shaped dish attributed to the Ding kilns in the Nezu Museum was included in the exhibitionThe Colors and Forms of Song and Yuan China: Featuring Lacquerwares, Ceramics, and Metalwares, Nezu Institute of Fine Arts, Tokyo, 2004, cat. no. 24. Another from the Tokyo National Museum collection with a circular unglazed area on the interior is attributed to Cizhou ware, illustrated in ibid., cat. no. 25. Compare also a Ding-type dish formerly in the Cunliffe Collection, sold at Christie's Hong Kong, 2nd December 2015, lot 2819.
