Footnotes
金 河南窯黑釉小盤
Notable for its lustrous dark glaze, the present dish is a refined example of wares produced at numerous kilns in Henan Province.
Dark-glazed, high-fired ceramic vessels were highly regarded as solid, practical wares. Their production began during the Tang dynasty and rapidly spread throughout China. The development of black wares during the Northern Song period appears to have been inspired by contemporaneous plain lacquerware, and different kilns developed their own styles.
Compare with a related black-glazed dish, Jin dynasty, from the British Museum, London, acc.no.1911,1025.14.
