Drum-shaped bowl
Buddhism, which originated in India, flourished in China during the fourth and fifth centuries and its spread generated a new philosophy and a need for new equipment for its ceremonies. These ritual objects were formed in shapes of Indian origin or, as in this case, decorated with motifs originating in India. Here, overlapping lotus petals are carved around the sides of the bowl. Buddhist devotees may have used this bowl as an alms bowl or for setting water on an altar. Xing ware can be hard to distinguish from Ding ware but generally it has a colder, bluer tone through its transparent glaze.

白釉鼓式缽
佛教,起源於印度,傳入中國後,在西元4-5世紀時開始蓬勃發展。新的教義哲理在傳播過程中誕生,也催生了各種新的用於儀式和慶典用器的需求。這些禮儀用器通常具有印度風格的造型, 或者如同該件白釉缽,裝飾有來源於印度的主題。此缽外壁刻重疊蓮瓣紋,應該曾被佛教徒們作為缽盂,或者放置在供臺上用於供奉凈水。邢窯與定窯器物有時很難區分,但通常來說,邢窯的透明釉呈現一種藍色的冷色調。
