Message Bill, Your piece does look like it was fired on the rim. Color distortions are difficult, but what do you mean by 'off-white'? Is it creamy, grayish, bluish? The molded design is in higher relief than I would expect in a Song Dynasty piece. If yours is a creamy or slightly yellowish-tan color, is it translucent to very strong light? If so, what color does the light coming through look like? Does the reflection on the back indicate a pretty brilliant, very smooth glaze? Does the surface look completely homogeneous and uniform? Here's an example of typical molded design in a Song period qingbai dish. It's a poor quality down-and-dirty scan, but gives some indication for comparison. Best regards, Judy
