The vase has a domed body that rises to a narrow, waisted neck, and is covered with a lustrous russet-splashed blackish-brown glaze with russet splashes that thins to a brownish color on the raised outer and inner edges of the everted rim, and stops above the foot ring to reveal the fine-grained stoneware body, Japanese wood box.

ProvenanceKochukyo, Tokyo.

Note: Vases of this truncated meiping form covered in a blackish-brown glaze accented with splashes of russet-brown are very rare. A slightly smaller vase of this form, but with more liberally applied russet splashes, is in the Miyaoshi Kinenkan, Ashikaga, and illustrated in Sekai toji zenshu, Tokyo, 1977, vol. 12, p. 244, pl. 246. A slightly taller vase of this form, with evenly spaced rounded russet markings, in the Korean National Museum, is illustrated in Chinese Ceramics, vol. 6: Temmoku, Tokyo, 1999, no. 66. Another larger example in the Meiyintang Collection, is illustrated in A Dealers Hand: The Chinese Art World through the Eyes of Giuseppe Eskenazi, London, 2012, p. 279, pl. 261. Compare, also, a vase of similar size, but with a longer neck and angled shoulder, sold at Christie’s New York, 20 March 2001, lot 202, and again at Sotheby’s New York, 23 March 2011, lot 517.
