The technological level of Dingyao white porcelain is very high. The raw materials are processed and screened carefully. After firing, the matrix is white and delicate, and the glaze color is bright and smooth. In the early Northern Song Dynasty, the white glaze was often white and shiny blue, and then white and slightly yellow, showing a soft texture like ivory. This is due to replacing firewood with coal as the kiln fuel, and the kiln atmosphere changes from reduction to oxidation. It is an important technological innovation in the porcelain industry in the northern region
The shape of this article is modeled after the Han bronze bottle, which is dignified and simple. It is an exquisite work of Ding kiln porcelain
