Provenance: Former private collection of a Song‑ceramic collector based in Nevada, USA. Acquired at Kuala Lumpur Asian Antique Art Fair in 2016, privately preserved within one family for over thirty years. The group was only shown in private themed exhibitions of southern bluish‑white porcelain and has never been consigned to public auctions.Description:This lot assembles four functional bluish‑white‑glazed wares from southern Song kilns, including a pair of floral‑rim lotus‑incised stem cups, a small single‑loop‑handle pot and a large storage jar, reflecting complete daily‑use ceramic assemblage of Song China. The pair of stem cups features foliated rim, exterior incised lotus petals and tall stem base, elegantly shaped for wine‑drinking or tea serving. The small pot has plump rounded body with one side loop lug for cord‑threading, usable as scholar‑studio water container or small storage vessel. The large jar bears flared mouth and full bulbous belly, sturdy in shape for household storage. All pieces are covered by soft bluish‑white glaze with natural aged gloss. Reddish‑brown unglazed bases exhibit typical southern folk‑kiln manufacturing marks. Bluish‑white porcelain was mass‑produced for daily life in Song southern regions. Surviving complete group is comparatively rare. It provides valuable material for studying Song southern folk life and civilian ceramic industry, suitable for display and scholarly collection, highly appreciated by Song‑porcelain collectors from Nevada, Georgia and Hong Kong.
