• Material: Mineral/ceramic/porcelain
• Description:
  Round mouth, shallow wall, flat bottom, no foot. The whole vessel is painted with white enamel, which turns yellow. Because the bottom is glazed and the mouth is inlaid with copper clasps, it is known that this device was fired by the re firing method. On the inner bottom, there is a broken lotus flower with smooth lines. It has been handed down to the world with a wooden seat, inscribed with the words “lotus dish of Song Ding kiln”, “B”, and “ancient emperor’s play” at the bottom. Because the wooden base is carved with the same name as that seen in the album of “Precious Pottery Brings Beauty” (today it is labeled as “Ceramic Spectrum”), it shows that this work is exactly painted in the album of “Precious Pottery Brings Beauty”.
