Cover for a Qingbai Ware Bowl
A domed porcelain lid glazed in pale bluish-white, its surface carved with radiating lotus petals that converge on a small knob at the center. A raised rim frames the lid against a plain grey background. The restrained carving and soft glaze suit the clean, understated character of Qingbai ware.
Look closer: Faint crack lines and a small chip near the rim show the age of the piece.
