Gongxian kiln is a north kiln greatly important during Tang Dynasty, already producing celadon bowls and high-foot plates in Sui Dynasty. Tang Gongxian wares were made in various colors and with different classic decorations, among which some of the white-glazed wares served as tributes. The upper part of this zhadou is shaped as a plate, the lower part a jar with a very trim waist, with no foot and no glaze on the bottom. This ware has a decorous shape with a fine porcelain body, covered fully in white glaze, glaze pure and transparent. The interior of the upper part is decorated with symmetrical stem patterns. The zhadou is truly a precious white-glazed ware of Gong.
