Einband leicht berieben. Text chinesisch und englisch. - Ting ware was the product of one of the famous northern kiln sites of the Sung dynasty, located in present day Chien-ts'u ts'un and eastern and western Yao-shan ts'un in Ch'ii-yang hsien, Hopei. Beginning in the T'ang dynasty, Ch'ii-yang had been under the jurisdiction of the prefecture of Ting chou, from which Ting ware in turn got its name. By the Sung dynasty Ting ware had already gained a reputation as extremely high-quality white porcelain, with production proceeding on the largest scale at Chien-ts'u ts'un where, as indicated by recent excavations, the kiln site occupied a total area of 1,170,000 square meters, evidencing a truly astonishing production capacity. Moreover, the same type of white porcelain was being produced throughout the broad region of the Chang river valley in Hopei.
