Qingbai Ware Bowl with Cover

A covered bowl of pale bluish-white glazed porcelain, its body carved with rows of tall, overlapping lotus petals. A silver band encircles the rim beneath a domed lid topped with a small loop knob. The glaze pools softly, and the shot is lit against a neutral gray background.

Look closer: A small loop knob sits atop the lid, and a thin silver band wraps the rim.
