Ding ware 定窑


Ding or Ting ware (Chinese: 定瓷, Dìngcí) were porcelain ceramics produced in the prefecture of Dingzhou (formerly romanized as "Ting-chou") between the late Tang and Later Jin dynasties of imperial China.
It is famous for the ivory-white or creamy-white color of the majority of its products, although it also produced lines in other glazes, using varied techniques. The range and output of the wares was large, producing ceramics of high quality for the wealthy merchant class and the scholar-literati class, as well as tributary ceramics of the highest quality for the imperial court.
