Lot Essay

It is rare to find coral-red enameling on meiping vases, and the present lot appears to be the only one of this type and size to have been offered at auction. Compare a similar yet smaller example with a more exaggerated tapering body, sold at Junkunc: Chinese Art, Sotheby’s New York, 28 September 2021, lot 581.
