Black Ding porcelain ceramics always feature an excellent quality. Due to their limited quantity as compared to white Ding porcelain ceramics, they are very valuable. The black glaze on both the inside and out makes it even more precious. The body is black as paint, and the people can see the light reflecting off the bowl. The mouth is open, and the body gradually converges downwards. The thin glaze along the rim is of a brownish-yellow color, adding a dash of elegance. There is no glaze near the stool on the bottom. The interior of the stool has a couple of small blemishes. We can speculate that these are due to kiln transformation. The entire bowl is very well-preserved with no traces of damage or wear.
