Qingbai Bowl with Carved Babies and Foliate Design, Southern Song Dynasty
(1127 - 1279), Dia. 19.4 cm
A large porcelain bowl with an exquisitely carved scene of two boys frolicking amongst foliage, (peonies of pomegranate type). The masterful carving is done both with pointed and wedged instruments. The entire bowl is covered in an idyllic pale blue translucent glaze, leaving only the underfoot unglazed, revealing a white porcelain body with shadow of the cylindrical kiln support on which it was fired. The rim is about half covered with its original silver band, now partially degraded. Chips to foot rim. See similar examples in Shanghai People’s Press Compendium of Chinese Ceramics vol. 16, Song-Yuan Qingbai, pl. 103. Also, Jan Virgin’s 1970 publication Sung Ceramic Designs with an identical example. Pl. 19.

Chinese Ceramics from Tang - Yuan Dynasty
Zetterquist Galleries current exhibition features Chinese ceramics from the Tang through Yuan dynasties. It features exquisite examples of celadons from Yaozhou, Yue, and Longquan kilns. There is an exquisitely carved Yaozhou peony bowl from a New York collection and an heirloom-quality Longquan celadon vase from an old English collection. There are persimmon-glazed bowls from Yaozhou and Jian-yao kilns, as well as a tortoiseshell censer from Jizhou. Of the many white wares in the exhibition, there is a carved Dingyao twin fish bowl with Japanese provenance and a Tang dynasty Xing-yao bottle vase from a distinguished New York private collection and provenance from Robert Hatfield Ellsworth and AW Bahr Collections. Two Song dynasty Hutien-type Qingbai bowls, one with original silver foil rim remnants, and the other with carved cloud motif, portray the refinement of this kiln's output.
