[edit] Summary

Vase: Measuring 10" high and 7-1/4" in diameter. Imposing classical Meiping-style vase, as described in China, Korea, and Japan, with blue underglaze. The neck is beautifully done with wave pattern in the upper part and a diaper pattern well formed around edge of the neck. The main design is a dragon wrapped around the vase, very imposing format, and a cloud motif below the dragon. The ground is a light gray glaze and the blue is very clear in two tonalities and little band of rings at the base. Some pitting of the surface related to the original firing of the vase, and a minor chip at the foot. 1650-1750.

From the private collection of Paul and Elizabeth Colaianni.
