NoteIt is rare to find a Dingyao persimmon-glazed bowl of this outstanding quality. It is believed that Ding wares with persimmon glazes were produced after lacquer prototypes. The similarity in colour and form in the two materials is demonstrated by a persimmon-coloured lacquer tea-bowl stand, excavated from a Song tomb at Heqiao, Jiangsu province and a persimmon-coloured Ding ware teabowl-stand, as illustrated and discussed by R.Krahl, 'Song Lacquer: Model for Imperial Porcelain', Chinese Lacquer from the Jean-Pierre Dubosc Collection and Other, Eskenazi, London, 1991, p.10, figs.3-4.

A Dingyao-type persimmon-glaze bowl was sold in our London rooms, 14 May 2009, lot 71. See also a rare Ding persimmon-glazed bowl sold at Christie's New York, 23 March 2023, lot 865.
