Object Description
A Chinese Qingbai ware porcelain box from the Song Dynasty. The piece was created from white porcelain which during the firing process, gained a subtle blue/green tint. The box is partially glazed with the base being left without the gloss. The base is concave and the sides slightly taper outwards to accommodate for the large, circular, domed lid. Both the sides of the body and lid have vertical, ribbed detailing. The lid is enriched with a stylised floral design framed by a single band.
Date: Circa 960-1279 AD
