About the Item

The dish has a scalloped rim, which gives it a flower-like appearance. The wavy edges were often inspired by nature. It has a pale, almost translucent blue-green glaze, typical of Qingbai ware. This type of glaze is highly valued for its smooth and delicate finish, which often resembles jade.

It is characterized by a white, compact porcelain body covered with a transparent glaze of pale bluish tone, which gives the ware its distinctive “bluish-white” appearance—hence the name Qingbai (literally “blue-white”). The glaze, produced under a reduction firing atmosphere, contains a small amount of iron oxide that turns a subtle bluish or greenish hue when fully reduced at high temperature (around 1250–1300°C). The resulting color is clear and translucent, often compared to polished jade (玉質) for its purity and soft luster. Decoration was typically achieved through molded or incised designs, most commonly lotus flowers, phoenixes, birds, peonies, or scrolling foliage, rendered beneath the glaze. These motifs appear faintly through the transparent glaze, producing an elegant and understated visual effect. The footring is usually unglazed, revealing the fine white body with traces of reddish oxidation from firing supports. Over time, genuine Qingbai pieces may develop fine natural crackles (crazing) or slight iridescence due to long-term burial and glaze weathering — features often referenced in authenticity assessments. Qingbai ware represents one of the earliest fully vitrified porcelains of China and is admired for its clarity, lightness, and quiet sophistication, standing as a direct precursor to later white porcelain (白瓷) and blue-and-white ware (青花瓷) traditions of the Yuan and Ming dynasties.
