Meiping Vase with Carved Floral Sprays
A tall, plum-shaped vase with a short neck and rounded shoulders, covered in a pale bluish-white glaze. Carved and incised scrolling sprays of leaves and blossoms cover the body in low relief, softened by the glaze. The vessel stands on a narrow foot against a neutral gray background.
Look closer: A small glossy highlight on the shoulder reflects the light source.
