While most of the ceramics produced during the Song period are named for the areas in which they were made, Qingbai wares are classified by the specific tint of their delicate blue (qing) and white (bai) glaze. Ceramics of this type, also known as shadow green or Yingqing ware, were produced from the tenth to the fourteenth century at several kilns in Jiangxi Province, including Jingdezhen, which later became the center for blue-and-white ceramics.
