Ming dynasty porcelain vase

Ceramics, China, Ming dynasty (1368-1644 CE)

A monochrome Qingbai glazed porcelain vase with a smooth, flowing curve.

Qingbai glazed ceramics are a type of porcelain that originated during the Song Dynasty (960–1279 CE) but became particularly prominent during the Yuan Dynasty (1271–1368 CE) and the early Ming Dynasty (1368–1644 CE). Known for their delicate beauty, these ceramics are characterized by their light blue or pale green glaze, which is transparent and often has a glassy finish.

Provenance: from the collection of the Nightingale family, Lea Hurst, Derbyshire; thence Mr William Gregory of Tansley House, Matlock, Derbyshire. Purchased in 1972 in a private transaction from Mr Gregory and remained in storage in its original packing cases.
