    "description": "This bowl is a specific type of white ware called Ding ware, so named for the Ding kilns in Hebei province that produced them. Ding ware is characterized by a soft white clay for the body and a warm toned ivory-white glaze of smooth consistency. The soft clay allowed for incisions and impressions of designs, such as the motifs of leafy vine scrolls and lotus blossoms or buds that appear on the interior of this bowl. The warm tone of this glaze is permeated with a distinct greenish tinge.",
