Lot Essay
Of olive form, the meiping is incised through a white slip with bands of peony and foliate scroll within narrow decorative bands, all against a dense ring-punched ground of ‘pearls’.
Compare to several Dengfeng meiping of comparable sizes, decorated in the same sgraffito technique with foliate patterns, dated to the Song dynasty, 11th-12th century: one carved with two fierce tigers to the body, preserved in the Palace Museum, Beijing, collection number: xin 00142903; one carved with peonies, housed in the Shanghai Museum; and one excavated in Henan province in 1955, decorated with narrow bands as the current lot, now preserved in the Henan Museum.
The result of Oxford Authentication thermoluminescence test no. P108x95 is consistent with the dating of this lot.
