A rare qingbai 'floral' vase, meiping, Southern Song dynasty｜南宋　青白釉劃花卉紋梅瓶

Kochukyo Co., Ltd, Tokyo.

A meiping vase with a similar flower scroll design was discovered in a Southern Song hoard in Suining, Sichuan province. This cache is thought to have been interred between the initial Mongol invasion in 1234 and the fall of the town in 1242, which is illustrated in Newly Discovered Southern Song Ceramics: A Thirteenth Century "Time Capsule" at the Odakyu Museum, Tokyo, 1998, pl. 61.

Compare also another meiping of this style, illustrated in The Complete Works of Chinese Ceramics, Shanghai, 1999, vol. 8, part II, no. 200, and another example in The Art Institute of Chicago, featuring crisply incised floral patterns, illustrated in Sekai Toji Zenshu, vol. 12, Tokyo, 1977, pl. 167, and a third example from the same book at pl. 314, now preserved in the collection of Tokyo National Museum.
