In comparison with Chinese white, the Corean white glaze is bluer and more shiny. The Chinese is gray & [[deadish?]]

The design of curve lotus flowers on the Chinese are partly incised, partly cut away. Their [[crackalure?]] is like the Corean, but finer. There is no such naturalistic pattern, nor so cut in from low relief, as the Corean Seiji 4 and 20 - 

one piece of the Corean - No. 16 - is a saucer - whitish hard paste. very blue white glaze, half plain Seiji & the bluish white. This is the only one of the Corean, which is the flower pattern cut away, with line - (line plus [[raining?]]) like the Chinese white. The two Chinese white M. Freer thinks to be Ming.

This one has the unglazed rim at top for metal [[mts?]]
