During the Five Dynasties, the white porcelain of Ding Kiln was more in shape than that of the late Tang Dynasty, and its production was more exquisite, and simple carved patterns began to appear. Engraving and scribing are to use bamboo, wood and iron knives or awls and grates to carve or scratch patterns on the surface of the semi-dry body, and then glaze and burn them. As far as the decorative effect is concerned, the blade with deep side and shallow side is common in carving, which has a strong three-dimensional sense; The lines are fine and smooth. Carving and flower carving are often used in combination to express the outline of the pattern by carving, and then depict the details by carving, which is called carving flower
The decoration of this pot is simple and bright, and is the representative of the early development of Ding kiln carving decoration
