Meiping Vase with carved Dragon Motif
A tall meiping vase with a narrow mouth and rounded shoulders, covered in a pale bluish-white glaze. Carved into the body are a dragon chasing through clouds across the middle band, with scrolling lotus-like motifs above and stylized leaves below.
Look closer: A small foot ring is visible at the base, with the unglazed edge of the vase showing.
