Ca. 960–1368 CE. East Asia, China, Song to early Yuan Dynasty, ca. 960 to 1368 CE. An intriguing Qingbai ware funerary vessel from southern China, used to hold grain and other offerings within a tomb or temple. Coated in a pale mint-green celadon glaze, the vessel features a columnar body, rounded shoulders, an elongated neck, and a scalloped lip below the circular mouth, with small loop handles likely intended for securing a lid or suspension cords. Molded relief decorations adorn the neck, depicting a celestial realm with a soaring dragon, crane or phoenix, swirling clouds, a turtle, prancing deer, and a seated figure above a register of bearded men in long robes. Qingbai ware - meaning "greenish white" - was celebrated for its refined beauty and served both practical and symbolic roles in burial, domestic, and temple contexts.
