Vases of this shape are rarely found in Ding ware. This distinctive shape, termed hua kou ping (vase with foliate mouth rim), was first introduced during the Tang dynasty and became a popular shape employed at a variety of kilns during the Song dynasty. Compare the present vase to another Ding bottle vase of similar shape and size, sold at Sotheby’s Hong Kong, 30 November 2017, lot 412.
Although this form is very rare in Ding ware, it was a popular form in other wares such as Cizhou ware. For an example of a Cizhou vase of this shape, see Tsugio Mikami, Sekai toji Zenshu 13 Liao Jin Yuan, Shogakukan, Tokyo, p. 243, no. 278. Vases of this type are also found in Jun ware, such as an example of similar size, but of broader proportions, sold at Christie’s New York, 17-18 September 2015, lot 2320.
