ProvenanceInouye Oriental Art, Tokyo.

NoteTall, narrow meiping of similar decoration were made in two different shapes. The first shape, like the present meiping, has a small mouth with a lipped rim, and the other shape has a tall mouth with a wider, ovoid rim. Meiping of the first shape are also often decorated like the present meiping, with bands of abstract frond-like leaves. Yutaka Mino and Katherine R. Tsiang discuss the two types in Freedom of Clay and Brush through Seven Centuries in Northern China: Tz’u-chou Type Wares, 960-1600 A.D., Indianapolis, 1980, p. 160, and cite that the first type was likely make in Yuxian. A similar meiping in the William Rockhill Nelson Gallery-Atkins Museum of Fine Arts, Kansas City, is illustrated in ibid., p. 161.
