[Footnote 404: For this and other information on the subject, see M.L. Solon's paper on "The Noble Buccaros" in the North Staffordshire Literary and Philosophic Society's _Proceedings_, October 23rd, 1896.] [Footnote 405: See _T´ao lu_, bk. vii., fol. 11 verso: "(Ou ware) was made in the Ming dynasty by a man of Yi-hsing ... who took the name of Ou, and everybody called it Ou's ware. It included wares which imitated Ko ware in crackle, Kuan and Chün wares in colour. Ou's bright coloured glazes were very numerous. The wares consist of flower dishes, stands for boxes, etc. The glazes with red and blue markings are particularly choice. At Ch´ang-nan the factory of T´ang used to imitate them." The last sentence refers to the celebrated T´ang Ying, who supervised the Imperial factory at Ching-tê Chên from 1728-1749. The statement that Tang's factory imitated them is no doubt based on the oft-quoted list given in the _Chiang hsi t´ung chih_ of wares made at the Imperial factory about 1730, which include "glazes of Ou. Imitations of the old ware of the potter named Ou, including two kinds, that with red and that with blue markings."] [Footnote 406: In the list quoted in the last note. The words are [Chinese], _Yi hsing kua yu_. The word _kua_, which means "suspended, applied," is probably inserted because the Yi-hsing ware was usually unglazed.] [Footnote 407: A similar effect is produced by zinc and tin on modern English wares. See note on p. 168. It has been suggested that these minerals were used on the Kuangtung stonewares, and appearances, at any rate, point to their presence in the Yi-hsing _flambé_ glazes as well.] [Footnote 408: Dr. Laufer collected a considerable series of wares made in certain modern factories which he visited in China, and they may be seen in the Field Museum, Chicago, and in the Natural History Museum in New York.] CHAPTER XVI MISCELLANEOUS POTTERIES
