This bowl embraces a technique of decoration otherwise virtually unknown among Cizhou wares: overglaze silvering. The silver designs to the interior reveal influence from the overglaze-gold designs on russet-and-black-glazed Ding ware. Gold and silver bands were affixed to ceramic vessels as early as the Warring States period; so too was metallic foil used to decorate many of those vessels, as evinced by a gray earthenware covered hu jar in the Asian Art Museum of San Francisco that has been dated to the third century BC. And although their numbers were never large, many more ceramics from Warring States times onward must have been decorated with overglaze gold and silver than the few extant pieces might suggest.
Literature comparison:
Compare a pear-shaped bottle of Cizhou type with silver glaze decoration, formerly in the Robert Hatfield Ellsworth Collection, illustrated by Robert Mowry in Hare's Fur, Tortoiseshell, and Partridge Feathers: Chinese Brown- and Black-Glazed Ceramics, 400-1400, Harvard University, 1996, pp. 167-69, no. 57, where it is dated to the Jin dynasty.
