Comments:Harrison-Hall 2001:Decorating porcelain with thin lacelike gilding, known as ‘kinrande’ is not an innovation of the Ming period. Rare porcelains with coloured glazes were embellished with gold in the twelfth century at the Ding ware kilns in Hebei. Although white ‘kinrande’ wares are less common than red, identical examples are known, including two bowls in the Percival David Foundation of Chinese Art, London.
