Originally a vessel for alcoholic beverages, the vase is named after its small mouth into which a slender plum blossom spray can fit. The mouthrim of this meiping vase is gilt. The interior and the bottom of the base are glazed in white. Overall the glazing of this piece is even and smooth, but unfortunately some of the glaze has been chipped off, exposing the white body. In addition, this vessel has previously been repaired. A small patch can be seen on the bottom of the base. The exterior of this meiping vase is decorated with elegant plum blossom sprays outlined in black and filled in with three colors. The plum blossom, one of sui han san you (Three Friends of Winter, namely pine, bamboo and plum, which still keep their integrity when all other plants wither and their leaves fall), is important to the Chinese as a symbol of longevity and good fortune. Here, the plum blossom is finely crackled in overglaze ivory white while the center of each plum blossom is yellow glazed. The branches are in a blue overglaze. The shape of this meiping vase appears similar to a small meiping vase with bats and floral designs in red underglaze dated to the mid-Qing dynasty (p.201, from Li Zongyang's book titled zhongguo mingqing ciqi mulu < xia> < Catalogue of Chinese Ming and Qing Porcelain, vol.2> < Haikou: nanfang chubanshe, 2000> ). However, its mouth is more flaring and its shoulders are shorter than the mid-Qing piece. It is highly likely that this wine-red glazed vase was produced later than the mid-Qing piece according to the chronological development of the meiping vase shape. Therefore, this object is attributed to the late Qing period, approximately the early 19th century to the early 20th century."},{"label":"Title","value":"Wine red-glazed meiping vase"},{"label":"Rights","value":"Materials available through GettDigital encompass a wide range of works, many of which are in the public domain.
