A QINGBAI TIXI-STYLE CARVED MEIPING
SOUTHERN SONG DYNASTY (1127-1279)
The vase is well potted with a long slender body rising from the countersunk base to rounded shoulders, surmounted by a ribbed neck tapering to a lipped rim. It is crisply carved on the exterior with a broad band of scrolling tendrils between double borders, all under a translucent glaze of pale aquamarine tone pooling in the recesses, ending in an irregular line above the foot exposing the white biscuit body.
