Cao Zhao of the Ming Dynasty recorded in his “On Ancient Chinese” that “ancient fixed tools… those with tears on the outside are true”. “Tear mark” is a natural phenomenon formed in the process of porcelain firing. Under the high temperature melting state, the transparent glaze will form wax tears or glass bead-like protrusion at the place where the glaze is deposited due to gravity vertical flow, like “tear mark”, which is one of the typical characteristics of Ding white porcelain
