This deep bowl has a qingbai glaze and an incised ring around its body. Qingbai porcelain derives its name from the characteristic icy, bluish-white glaze that covers its body. Acquired in the Philippines, this bowl was used as a utility ware.Qingbai poreclain became increasingly important in the 13th century with the increase in China’s maritime trade. Qingbai is one of the wares that was exported into Southeast Asia from the Southern Song period (1127-1279 CE) through to the Yuan and early Ming dynasties.
