This was a popular form in Longquan celadon wares, and one that complemented well the Longquan glaze. A meiping of the same form and with similar cover excavated in 1979 from a tomb dated to AD 1195 in Songyangxian is illustrated by the Chinese archaeologist Zhu Boqian in Longquan yao qingci, Taipei, 1998, p. 123, no. 88. Two more of these ribbed Longquan meiping with covers in the collection of the Longquan Celadon Museum, Zhejiang, are illustrated in Longquan Celadon of China, 1998, nos. 90 and 91.
