Cizhou-type meiping with underglaze iron-black painted decoration on a cream slip beneath a turquoise glaze. This Cizhou-type stoneware meiping has a narrow neck with an out-turned rim and sides which taper towards a splayed foot. The meiping is covered with a cream slip and is painted in iron black beneath a turquoise glaze with designs in bands. In the central band three cartouches show a scholar kneeling in a landscape, a scholar standing beside a duck, and a hare in a landscape with a moon. Around the shoulder and foot are bands of stylized chrysanthemum-like flowers with scrolling folliage and in between the cartouches are spiralling clouds. The base has a broad unglazed foot ring, which reveals a red-brown body, and the foot is repaired.

Comments:Harrison-Hall 2001:Two slightly smaller (height 23 and 25 cm respectively) Cizhou-type meiping of similar shape, one with three-coloured glaze and one with monochrome green glaze, were excavated from the site of a Ming dynasty city at Huifacheng in Huinan county, Jilin province. Another of similar shape and design is in the Lowe Museum of Art, University of Miami. A further example is in the Vestlandske Kunstindustrimuseum, Norway. Stylistically the painting of this meiping relates closely to that of a dated ‘guan’ jar made in the nineteenth year of Jiajing (AD 1540), which is now in the Herbert F. Johnson Museum of Art, Cornell University, USA. Both the British Museum meiping and the dated jar have the same border around the neck and foot and the same spiral infill between lobed cartouche borders.See also BM Franks.88.
