Comments:Harrison-Hall 2001:Professor Zeng Fan showed slides of toffee-coloured ceramics with white slip decoration, recently excavated in the Pinghe area, to the Oriental Ceramic Society in London in October 1995. From these we can deduce that this flower vase was also made locally in Pinghe in Fujian. Many of the dedicatory inscriptions on Jingdezhen-made porcelains are made by people living in Jiangxi. It was natural for believers living in Fujian to commission ceramics from the local Pinghe kilns.
