This Qingbai bowl is made of fine white clay, covered with a translucent glaze tinged with a pale bluish hue. The exterior is subtly decorated with softly rendered lotus-petal (lianban) motifs in low relief, without sharp protrusions. The surface bears fine crackles and traces of soil accretion formed through long-term natural aging, while the interior of the foot shows the characteristic dark firing marks of Qingbai ware along with areas of accretion.
