This plate adopts the over-burning process, that is, it is installed and burned with the mouth down. In order to prevent the edge of the coil from sticking to the branch ring, the edge of the mouth should not be glazed, so that the bone fetus is exposed, forming a rough “awn mouth”. So the Song people said that the porcelain was “too shiny to be used”. In order to make up for this defect, people inlay a ring of gold, silver, copper, etc. at the mouth of the awn, which is called “buckle (buckle)”. According to the “Wu Yue Bei Shi”, “On September 11, when the king entered the dynasty, he thanked the worshipping hall and added two thousand gold fixed wares.” The “gold fixed wares” here refers to this kind of Ding kiln porcelain inlaid with metal buckles. This process has been seen in Ding porcelain of the Tang and Five Dynasties. At that time, the main purpose of inlaying buttons was to make the utensils look luxurious and noble. After the popularity of Ding Kiln covering firing method, the inlaid metal buckle not only has decorative function, but also can cover the defects of “awn mouth”, so it is more popular
