Persimmon-glazed bowls were produced by many Chinese kilns in the Song and early Jin periods, including the Ding and Yaozhou kilns, and were particularly admired on forms associated with tea ceremony. The striking near-white body visible through the glaze at the rim and the foot is a distinctive feature of wares produced at the Ding kilns.
It is very rare to find a Ding bowl with foliated rim of such large size and exquisite glaze colour like the present lot. A similar Ding persimmon-glazed bowl with a petal-lobed rim is in the Freer Gallery of Art, illustrated by J. A. Pope, et. al., in The World’s Great Collections: Oriental Ceramics, vol. 9, Tokyo, 1972, no. 62. Another foliated rim dish of ogee-form is in the collection of Palace Museum, Beijing, collection no.: xin00140815 (fig. 1). Other Ding persimmon-glazed bowls include a slightly smaller foliate bowl, illustrated by S. Kwan, Song Ceramics from the Kwan Collection, Hong Kong, 1994, pp. 82-83, no. 23, and in the Princeton Art Museum illustrated by Z. Kwok, The Eternal Feast: Banqueting in Chinese Art from the 10th to 14th Century, Princeton, 2019, p. 170, no. 41.
Compare further to a conical bowl, sold at Sotheby’s New York, 23 March 2011, lot 519; and another hexafoil bowl that is slightly smaller in size, previously in the J. J. Lally & Co. Collection, was sold at Christie’s New York, 23 March 2023, lot 865 (fig. 2).
