The rim with few small chips, one of them repaired.Weight: 336.4 gDimensions: Height 7.3 cm, Diameter 18.5 cmQingbai ware, or 'green-white' porcelain, represents a major category of Chinese ceramic production during the Song and Yuan dynasties. It is characterized by a translucent glaze that imparts a restrained bluish-green tone. Manufacture was concentrated in Jiangxi province, most notably in Jingdezhen, and Qingbai constituted the earliest instance of porcelain produced on a truly large scale in China.Produced from a refined white body, this ceramic type was coated with a glaze that, when fired, produced the distinctive bluish-green hue. Pine wood served as kiln fuel, creating a reducing atmosphere that played a crucial role in the optical qualities of the glaze. Production addressed funerary contexts, export demand, and domestic consumption across a broad social spectrum, resulting in considerable diversity in form and execution.Ceramic production in Jingdezhen underwent a decisive transformation during the fourteenth century with the emergence of blue-and-white porcelain. This new ceramic type employed the same white porcelain body as Qingbai ware but introduced cobalt-blue underglaze decoration, offering greater visual contrast and expanded decorative potential. The rapid adoption of blue-and-white porcelain reflected changing aesthetic preferences and growing demand in both domestic and international markets, leading to the gradual discontinuation of Qingbai production and marking a pivotal shift in the history of Chinese porcelain.Expert's note: Particularly noteworthy in this category of ceramics is the presence of an unglazed rim, exposing the natural buff-colored ceramic body and creating a subtle yet deliberate contrast in chromatic tone, surface sheen, and tactile quality with the glaze that entirely envelops the vessel. This characteristic provides material evidence that such wares were customarily fired in an inverted position, resting on the rim rather than on the foot. This firing technique, widely employed in the production of Song dynasty and early Yuan porcelains, responded to the exceptional fluidity of the glaze, thereby preventing its accumulation in the lower portions of the vessel or its dripping during the firing process, and resulting in the refined, evenly distributed, milky-hued surface that characterizes these wares. Moreover, this method served to shield the interior surface of the bowl from contaminants such as kiln ash or direct flame exposure that might otherwise compromise the glaze. In the present example, a discernible difference in the purity and finish of the glaze between the exterior and interior surfaces is clearly observable.Auction result comparison:Type: Closely relatedAuction: Christie's New York, 18 March 2016, lot 1496Price: USD 15,000 or approx.
