Period:Ming dynasty Production date:1450-1505 (circa)
Materials:porcelain
Technique:glazed, fahua,
Subjects:shell lotus
Dimensions:Height: 42 centimetres
Description:
Porcelain meiping with ‘fahua’-type decoration and traces of red lacquer. The ‘fahua’ palette employed to decorate this meiping, and the composition of the lotus flower, waves and garlands, are very similar to those of BM 1947.0712.228. This meiping has a short neck with a thickened overhanging rim, rounded shoulders, tapering sides and a stepped foot. The base is unglazed with a foot ring. The raised outlines of the design are applied in slip and infilled with turquoise enamel with some yellow details on an ink-blue ground. Traces of red pigment, probably lacquer, can also be seen. White areas are created by using a covering of transparent glaze, revealing the white porcelain body beneath. Lotus flowers and foliage are depicted growing from a band of turbulent waves. Around the neck is a band of ‘ruyi’ heads with a ring of studs at the tip and a double band of raised lines below. Around the shoulder, alternating conch shells and ‘ruyi’ clouds are joined by beaded garlands and from these are suspended tassels with lozenge or round tops. The high-fired porcelain body and palette employed are typical of those ‘fahua’ wares made in southern China at Jingdezhen.
