Song / Yuan dynasty porcelain bowl

A Chinese Qingbai glazed bowl on a short foot. It features a prune blossom motif, signifying perseverance and faith.

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.
