Qing Dynasty rice bowls – minyao: Genuine Qing Dynasty (1644-1911) bowls likely locally made in northern Taiwan, and once a treasured item of a poor farming family in the Sanzhi District on the north coast where they were found. These items have fading, poor quality blue dye used in the baking process which identifies them as ‘minyao’ – made for commoners. At some point they have been marked with the characters XX and XX for XX and XX, an indication of how important they once were to a long-dead couple.
清代碗– 民窯：真品清代（1644-1911年）碗，應為北台灣民窯製品，發現於三芝區北海岸當地一戶貧困農家，視其為珍寶。根據碗上褪色且次級的藍釉，判別為「民窯」，屬平民製造。碗的內部各別刻著「榮」以及「美」，彷彿時光倒流，反映榮和美這對農村伉儷的日常，以及此碗對他們的重要性。
