A stunning rarity, these white earthenwares with ivory glaze are the precursor to the white porcelain that developed in the Song Dynasty. The shape and glaze type has been found in Song Dynasty graves, but also Song Dynasty dated sites; our feeling is this is an earlier example, similar to the Tang dynasty wine cups we have in stock, which are dated to the 8th century AD.
