58. Large jars (ta kang) with Imperial factory (ch’ang kuan) glazes. “Dimensions: diameter, at the mouth, 3 ft. 4 or 5 in. to 4 ft.; height, 1 ft. 7 or 8 in. to 2 ft. Glaze colours, (1) eel yellow, (2) cucumber (kua p’i) green, and (3) yellow and green mottled (huang lü tien).”
This last item, which is not included in Bushell’s list, appears to be almost a repetition of No. 9, with slightly different phrasing. Huang lü tien, which is used instead of the difficult phrase huang pan tien, may perhaps be taken as a gloss on the latter, indicating that the spots in the mottled yellow were green. In this case it would appear that the “spotted yellow” was a sort of tiger skin glaze, consisting of dabs of green and yellow (and perhaps aubergine as well). Bushell interpreted it in this sense.
