Comments:Rawson 1992:Ding wares were made at kilns very near the Xing kilns, and developed further the skills initiated at Gon xian and Xing. The kilns seem to have met demands for high-quality white wares, many in the shapes of metal vessels, and the relationship between white porcellaneous ware and silver was developed ever more closely at the Ding kilns. The well-organised production of Ding ware, its lightness of body, the flair of its ornament, and its long-lasting status make it probably the single most important Chinese ceramic type. Not only are Ding wares amongst the most commented on, collected and forged ceramics, particularly during the Ming dynasty, but they are also centrally placed between the two major traditions of earlier high-fired wares and later porcelain.
