Dear Bill,

A yellowish creamy color and the type of molded decoration you show plus an unglazed portion of the lip is meant to suggest Song Dynasty Dingyao.

*Contra*-indications are lack of translucency (you don't answer this question) and a brilliant smooth glaze.

It's important to find out whether this is translucent to strong light.

For the time being I will assume it is not. And one more question: when pinged with a finger, does it ring like modern porcelain?

I also find it of interest that on the bowl exterior the glaze appears to go right up to the lip, and the unglazed part is only on the interior. Is this so?

I have seen modern stoneware, coated with a creamy slip, then with a high-gloss glassy glaze. It rings beautifully, is not translucent, and does not display true Dingyao glaze character.
It is good quality ware, occasionally mistaken for Dingyao just because of color and decoration style. But new.

Best regards,
Judy
