Ge ware, along with Guan, Ru, Ding and Jun, comprise the ‘Five Great Wares of the Song Dynasty’. The problems of distinguishing the two crackled wares, Guan, and Ge, were discussed at length during a conference held at the Shanghai Museum in 1992, and while no unanimity of opinion was reached, it was generally thought that those wares with a jinsi tiexian (‘gold thread and iron wire’) crackle should be designated Ge. See R. Scott, “Guan or Ge Ware?”, Oriental Art, Summer 1993, pp. 12-23. Recent archaeological researchers suggest that Ge wares may have been made at kilns in Chuzhou, nearer to the center of Longquan production, or just outside the walls of the Southern Song palace at Hangzhou. Scholars agree that Ge wares display the qualities that might be expected of vessels intended for imperial appreciation.

Yuan and Ming dynasty square-form Ge washers are very rare. A Ge cinquefoil brush washer dated to the Yuan-Ming dynasty was sold at Christie’s Hong Kong, 27 November 2013, lot 3279. Another washer, but of circular shape and dated to the Yuan dynasty, 14th century, is in the Qing Court Collection, and is published in the National Palace Museum, Precious as the Morning Star: 12th- 14th Century Celadons in the Qing Court Collection, p. 275, no. IV-34.
