This pair of finely crafted Qingbai-glazed porcelain boxes exemplifies the understated beauty and technical refinement of Song dynasty ceramics. Both boxes are of circular form with domed lids, each decorated in low relief with floral motifs, one featuring a boldly incised lotus blossom with vertical fluting around the body, the other adorned with a blossoming branch surrounded by scrolling peony designs.
Covered in the translucent Qingbai glaze (literally “blue-white”), the porcelain displays soft variations in tone from icy blue to pale celadon, a hallmark of Jingdezhen kilns. The glaze pools in the recessed decoration, subtly enhancing the relief and adding depth to the surface.
These boxes were likely used to hold cosmetics, incense, or small precious items, reflecting the literati values of simplicity and grace.

此對精緻的宋代青白釉瓷盒為宋代瓷器工藝的典範，展現出簡約雅致之美與技術的精湛。兩盒皆為圓形盒身，蓋頂隆起，一盒飾有挺拔的蓮花紋與垂直弦紋，另一盒則飾以花枝紋樣，外圍環繞纏枝牡丹，構圖豐富而層次分明。
全器施以青白釉（又稱影青），釉色在光線下呈現冰藍至淡青綠之微妙色階，為景德鎮窯獨特風格。釉彩於浮雕紋飾處自然積釉，使花紋更加柔和立體，增添視覺深度。
此類瓷盒常用於盛放化妝品、香料或小件珍品，體現宋代文人所追求的清雅、簡靜之審美精神。
