The present example is a classic example of Song dynasty ceramic modeled after silver ware, as the icy tone of the Qingbai glaze and the pure white porcelaneous body successfully mimics the appearance of silver. It shares many characteristics with Yueyao bowls of this type, such as the deeply rounded sides, everted foliate rim, the combed design on the interior, and the combed vertical 'ribs' on the exterior.
