Quoted also in the _T´ao lu_, and translated by Bushell, _O.C.A._, p. 369; and vol. ii., p. 223, of this work.] [Footnote 261: _Wai hsin tê_ [Chinese], lit. "recently obtained from outside." Wai evidently contrasts here with _nei_ (the palace), which precedes the first five. Julien, however, gives it the sense "_émaux nouvellement inventés_."] [Footnote 262: See _T´ao lu_, bk. vi., fol. 7. "As to the ware made at Ching-tê Chên at the present day in imitation of the Chün wares, the body material is all of beautiful quality." This carries the imitation up to the end of the eighteenth century. There are, however, imitations made on a soft pottery body which bear the Yung Chêng mark.] [Footnote 263: See p. 174.] [Footnote 264: See p. 181. The list quoted on p. 223 of vol. ii. of the wares made at the Imperial potteries in 1730 includes "glazes of Ou: imitated from old wares of a man named Ou. There are two kinds, one with red markings, the other with blue."] [Footnote 265: _kua yu_ [Chinese] "applied or added glaze." The significance of the epithet _kua_ lies in the fact that the bulk of the Yi-hsing ware was unglazed.] [Footnote 266: See Bushell, _O.C.A._, p. 374.] [Footnote 267: See p. 168.] [Footnote 268: See _Burlington Magazine_, November, 1909, Plate iv., opp. p. 83.] [Footnote 269: See Mrs. Williams, loc. cit., p. 33.] [Footnote 270: The modern Yü Chou. See vol. ii., p. 107.] [Footnote 271: Op. cit., Plate 1.] [Footnote 272: By Mr. A.W. Bahr.] [Footnote 273: The name _Ma_ is supposed to be that of a potter, but the statement is based on oral tradition only. The character used is _ma_ (horse).] [Footnote 274: It was deposited in the FitzWilliam Museum by Mr. W.H. Caulfield in 1896.] [Footnote 275: See p. 110.] [Footnote 276: The _Li t´a k´an k´ao ku ou pien_, of which the British Museum possesses a copy dated 1877.] [Footnote 277: The _Ch´in ting ku chin t´u shu chi ch´êng_, fol. 10 of the subsection dealing with _t´ao kung_ (the pottery industry), entitled _T´ao kung pu hui k´ao_.] [Footnote 278: The _Ch´ing yi lu_, quoted in the _T´ao shuo_, bk. v., fol. 16 verso: "In Min (i.e. Fukien) are made tea bowls with ornamental markings like the mottling and spots on a partridge (_chê ku pan_). The tea-testing parties prize them." Oddly enough, the only specimen of this type of ware which I have seen with a date-mark was dated in the reign of Hsien Tê (954-960) of the Posterior Chou dynasty; but the inscription had been cut subsequently to the firing of the ware, and carries little weight. The piece in question is a remarkably large bottle-shaped vase with a splendid purplish black glaze with "hare's fur" marking, in the Eumorfopoulos Collection.] [Footnote 279: See _T´ao lu_, bk. vii., fol. 8 verso.] [Footnote 280: [Chinese] _t´u hao chan_.] [Footnote 281: Ts´ai-hsiang, quoted in the _T´ao shuo_, bk. v., fol. 16 verso.]
