A DING CUP WITH BROWN OUTER AND BLACK INNER GLAZED Jin Dynasty
A bamboo hat shaped cup with an outward turning lip. Curving inward along the midsection, it stands on a round foot. The entire inner wall is covered in black glaze whilst the outer wall is covered in brown along the bottom. The round foot is unglazed and exposes the unrefined white earth underneath. The black used is as dark as ink, giving the surface a glistening finish. A brown rim is formed by the unglazed area between the inside and the outside of the opening where the two glazes meet. The intricacy of the item makes it stand out from the masses.
