Bowl with a pair of mandarin ducks
The main Ding ware workshops were located in Jianci village, Quyang county, Hebei province, and were in almost constant operation from the early eighth until the mid-fourteenth century. During the first half of the tenth century, Ding wares were often made in the shape of flowers and left undecorated. Later in the tenth and early eleventh century incised and combed designs were created. Pairs of mandarin ducks, as seen on this dish are an emblem of marital bliss.
