To be sure Giovanni raised the point underglaze enamel decoration blue or any color did not exist w Chinese ceramics however we know it did by the excerpt provided. We also know it is present in Ming ware. Mostly omitted means not in entirety -Unsure how that was so misconstrued

Also by the deeply concave foot example we know that the foot conformed to the aesthetic for the period in general , so not all Yixing bottles have the flat foot feature as I believe Giovanni had indicated that's all that was said and again reading the earlier notes, the 100 yr continuum of the porcelain bottles listed on the forum, may help date stoneware bottles
