Note:

Ge ware 哥窯, along with Guan 官, Ru 汝, Ding 定 and Jun 鈞, comprise the 'five famous wares of the Song dynasty' 宋代五大名窯. The problems of distinguishing the two crackled southern wares, Guan and Ge ware, were discussed at length during a three-day conference held at the Shangahi Museum in October 1992, and while no unanimity of opinion was reached, it was generally thought that those wares with a double jinsi tiexian ('gold thread and iron wire') crackle should be designated 'Ge'. See R. Scott, "Guan or Ge Ware?", Oriental Art, Summer 1993, pp. 12-23
