A GROUP OF FIVE SMALL 'QINGBAI' FIGURES SONG DYNASTY

comprising three boys, one depicted with a lock of hair on his forehead lying recumbent on his front, the other seated with two arms holding his raised right leg and the third seated with hands held up to his mouth in a manner of shouting; and two dogs, each lying recumbent with one hind limb raised and tail curled around its rear haunches, its front paws folded to its chest, all covered with a transparent bluish glaze, the bases left unglazed

The five figures and dogs are in overall good condition with the exception of unglazed edges, uneven distribution of glaze, minor kiln grits and slightly bubbly glaze. The glaze on one of the recumbent dogs appears slightly more bluish and textured compared to the other figures.
