Lot Essay

The commanding form and excellent potting of this meiping, complemented by the handsome and lustrous glaze, distinguish it as an excellent example of its type. A very similar meiping and cover dated to the Yuan or early Ming dynasty is illustrated in Selected Treasures of Chinese Art: Min Chiu Society Thirtieth Anniversary Exhibition, Hong Kong, 1990, no. 125.
