A CIZHOU CARVED WHITE-GLAZED MEIPING
Jin Dynasty (A.D. 1115-1234)
of stoutly potted ovoid form, boldly decorated with broad bands of foliate scroll on the swelling sides below a matching narrow band high on the rounded shoulders surmounted by a narrow mouth with square-cut flanged rim above a collar of overlapping petals, the decoration all carved through the cream-white slip to the mottled oatmeal-colored pottery ground and covered with a clear glaze, the sides tapering down to a wide foot enclosing a countersunk flat base.
Height 12 inches (30.5 cm)
A similar Cizhou white-glazed meiping of more slender proportions with less elaborately carved foliate scroll decoration on a hatched ground is illustrated by Ayers, The Baur Collection: Chinese Ceramics, Vol. I, Geneva, 1968, fig A75.
