'''Qingbai ware''' (青白瓷), also known as ''yingqing'' (影青, “shadow-blue”) ware, is a type of translucent porcelain with a pale blue-green glaze produced primarily in the Jingdezhen region of Jiangxi, China. Qingbai developed during the late Tang period and reached its aesthetic height in the Northern and Southern Song dynasties. It marks a crucial stage in the evolution of Chinese high-fired white porcelains and is considered one of the earliest porcelains to achieve true translucency. | '''Qingbai ware''' (青白瓷), also known as ''yingqing'' (影青, “shadow-blue”) ware, is a type of translucent porcelain with a pale blue-green glaze produced primarily in the Jingdezhen region of Jiangxi, China.
