Ding Ware Bowl of the Xing Type with Bi-Disc Foot

A shallow, conical bowl with a rounded rim and a low, narrow foot ring, covered in an even ivory-white glaze. The smooth, unadorned walls curve gently outward from the base to the lip, and the bowl sits centered on a soft grey surface with a faint shadow beneath it.

Look closer: A small unglazed ring on the underside of the foot shows the bowl's base construction.
