Lot Essay

This technique, in which white slip trails were applied over a dark iron rich slip and then covered in a transparent brown glaze, was particularly effective in producing pale coffee-coloured stripes against a rich dark brown. A closely related meiping now in the Matsuoka Museum collection, Tokyo, formerly from the collection of Mrs Alfred Clark was sold at Sotheby’s London, 25 March 1975, lot 22, and is illustrated by Basil Gray, Sung Porcelain and Stoneware, London, 1984, no. 95.
