Chinese Song Dynasty Qingbai Bowl With Fish & Duck Design

A fine Chinese Song Dynasty Qingbai bowl, the centre of the interior impressed with a design of two fish surrounded by eight ducks and floral motifs with a Greek key pattern inside the rim. The bowl is covered inside and out in a pale blue glaze leaving just the rim uncovered (the unglazed rim is characteristic of the process of inverted firing or 'fushao', which also results in a completely glazed base). Measures 19cm in diameter at the rim and 7cm tall. In excellent condition with fine craquelure to the glaze throughout - please see all photos for confirmation.
