Ding wares are a style or type of Chinese earthenware pottery, dating back to at least the [[Tang Dynasty]].
Ding wares were typically fired upside down, leaving the rims (rather than the bases, as is typical in many other ceramics styles) unglazed. Sheets of copper, or other materials, were often used to cover over this unglazed area.

Potters in the [[Ming Dynasty|Ming]] and [[Qing Dynasty|Qing Dynasties]], and into the 20th century, copied the style and produced new Ding wares, both at [[Jingdezhen]], and in other kiln sites in southern China.
