| Chinese Ming dynasty (16th century) blue and white porcelain meiping vase with bell-shaped cover decorated overall with classical lotus flowers among scrolling leafy stems, separated into three layers. The shoulder features the lotus-filled ruyi collar motif. 11 ¼” high (9 ¾” high without the lid). Very good overall condition with typical flaws and microscopic scratches to the glaze. The vase is slightly misshapen and there is an old flaw (possibly a firing imperfection) to the mouth rim (see enlargement 8). The lid is possibly not original to the vase. I have included close up images of the glaze taken with a magnifying lens and flash. This piece is from the private collection of a former diplomat to China in 1983-1984. | |||||||||||||||
