Additional Song ceramics include the rare persimmon -glazed Ding ware bowl and cover, lot 164. The Southeast Asian stonewares and earthenwares include celadons clearly influenced by Chinese celadons of the Song, Yuan and Ming dynasties, which were so widely treasured by the societies of maritime Asia and the Middle East, such as the Yaozhou molded Chrysanthemum bowl, lot 165, the elegantly simple southern Song Lotus brush washer, lot 167, and the incised floriform Longquan bowl with molded central floret, lot 168.
