Miniature vase with a landscape – (0067)
[0067]

Miniature ‘mei ping’ vase decorated in blue and white with a mountainous landscape. The words Mei ping literally mean ‘plum vase’ and such vases were traditionally used to display branches of plum blossoms. Now the name refers to its shape. This one shows a landscape with houses and people. A leaf is depicted on the bottom. We do not believe that this small vase has great age and would place it in the Republic period (1912 – 1947) or perhaps even later. Height 8.1 cm. Diameter vase 4.2 cm. Diameter foot ring 3.6 cm.
