Moon white ware glaze also often associated with Shiwan are a number of pieces with a "moon white" glaze (1 and 2) . These are most commonly found in museum collections of the late 19th and early 20th centuries and were then labeled Guang ware of the Song, Ming or occasionally Qing dynasty. This type of ware often bears relief designs of scrolling lotus similar in style to the Longquan wares of Zhejiang. These are possibly wares made by families who emigrated from Zhejiang to Guangdong, in contrast to the Yangjiang wares which seem to be associated with families who emigrated from Henan.
