Vase with incised dragon medallions
Potters in the late Ming and Qing dynasties made copies of Ding wares at Jingdezhen in Jiangxi province, Zhangzhou in Fujian province and in other southern kilns. This vase is chalky white or ‘rice–coloured’ and potters covered it either with a white slip and a thin transparent glaze with a yellowish cast that crackled during the cooling process or with an opaque white glaze. Connoisseurs once called this type of ceramic 土定 (tu ding ‘earthen Ding ware’). It is incised with lotus flowers and with dragons arranged in roundels.

白釉劃花團龍紋瓶
自晚明至清,江西景德鎮、福建漳州及其他一些南方窯口的陶工都仿燒定窯器物。此瓶呈粉白色,或者說米色。陶工可能在黃色坯胎上塗抹白色化妝土而後罩透明釉燒成,在冷卻過程中形成開片,也有可能施不透明白釉燒成。鑒賞家們曾將此類陶瓷稱為“土定”。瓶身飾劃花蓮花及團龍紋。
