Qingbai glazed “Phoenix and flowers” porcelain bowl, Song style

An open-walled porcelain bowl with a truncated cone-shaped profile and a slightly everted rim. The interior surface is moulded with vegetal-inspired motifs arranged in reserves, with a medallion of a phoenix in flight in the centre, surrounded by floral motifs. The Qingbai glaze covers the entire piece with its characteristic translucent greenish-blue tone, leaving the rim unglazed. The base shows the typical unglazed ring of Hutian kilns.
