Between AD 1086 and AD 1127, Ding potters pioneered the technique of fushao (firing a vessel upside down on its rim). Kiln managers saved on fuel by firing a greater number of pots at one time, stacking them in stepped saggars. The disadvantage was the unglazed mouth rim, cleaned free of glaze to avoid the vessel sticking to the saggar. Craftsmen used sheet copper and occasionally gold or silver, cut to size and heated to fit the rims to hide this flaw. Historical accounts suggest that dressing the rim with metal actually enhanced the status of the clay vessel.The two-character inscription incised on the base reads華苑 (huayuan).Stoneware with incised decoration, transparent glaze and copper rim mountDing ware 定窯 Quyang county, Hebei province 河北省, 曲陽縣Northern Song or Jin dynasty, about AD 1100–1200
