Ding ware[edit]

(

)

Incense Burner (Lu) in the form of an ancient ritual bronze container (Lian)

... that Chinese Ding ware of the 11th century (incense burner illustrated) may be described both as porcelain and as stoneware?

5x expanded by Johnbod (talk). Self-nominated at 01:45, 17 September 2016 (UTC).

Long enough, 5x expanded within time frame and within policy. It's well written and well illustrated, which is very good for the subject and it is an interesting and beautiful article. The hook is interesting and has been provided with sources. QPQ It fulfills the DYK requirements. If I could make a wish, I would like the sentences supporting the hook to not be in the lead section and also be a bit more stressed, since it's actually an interesting question of definition and could deserve a whole little paragraph of it's own. But the article is perfectly suitable for DYK as it is. Yakikaki (talk) 19:51, 19 September 2016 (UTC)

I recently beefed up porcelain & stoneware on the issue, & have adapted a para & added below. Johnbod (talk) 00:57, 20 September 2016 (UTC)
