Ding ware

Ding ware is a historic Chinese ceramics style from the Song Dynasty (960–1279 AD), renowned for its elegant, understated beauty. Made primarily from fine white clay, Ding ware features smooth, white or pale glazed surfaces often decorated with intricate carvings or inlays in blue or brown. Known for its durability and refined craftsmanship, it was highly prized for tableware and religious artifacts. Its simple yet sophisticated aesthetic, combined with technical excellence, reflects the artistic ideals of the period and has influenced Chinese ceramics for centuries.
