Monochrome blue-glazed vessels became popular from the early Ming period onward, when the Hongwu emperor decreed that ceramic wares should be used for official sacrifices at the Imperial altars, and blue was the prescribed colour for ritual vessels at the Tiantan, the Altar of Heaven. See a blue-glazed meiping dated to the early part of the 15th century in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, illustrated by S. Valenstein, A Handbook of Chinese Ceramics, New York, 1989, p. 152.
The current meiping is notable for its brilliant glaze. A slightly smaller Yongzheng-marked meiping (25 cm. high) gifted to the Art Museum, the Chinese University of Hong Kong, is illustrated in Ethereal Elegance: Porcelain Vases of the Imperial Qing, The Huaihaitang Collection, Hong Kong, 2007, pl. 13.
A very similar meiping was sold at Sotheby's Hong Kong, 8 October 2009, lot 1630.
