Cover for a Qingbai Ware Bowl

A round porcelain cover with a pale bluish-white Qingbai glaze, its top carved with radiating lotus petals around a small knob handle at the center. The soft, even glaze and incised outlines give the piece a quiet, restrained elegance against a dark gray backdrop.

Look closer: A small chip or mark on the lid's left edge.
