About this Item

A Chinese carved Qingbai 'boys' bowl, Southern Song Dynasty, late 12th/early 13th century

Notes

Song Dynasty ceramics, which date back almost 1000 years, are remarkable for their technical innovations at the time and their almost contemporary aesthetic, making them highly collected by connoisseurs. The ceramic production of Song Dynasty China is usually characterised by monochrome glazes, sometimes uniform or mottled, with plain or crackled surfaces ranging from bluish tones to deep sea green and mossy shades.

"The previous influence of Persian metalware on Chinese ceramics declined from the 11th century, resulting in a shift in ceramic production where these wares became increasingly "more ceramic in form and feeling". 2
