Ming Dynasty Underglaze Red Meiping Vase
A Chinese Ming Dynasty meiping vase, measuring approximately 10 ins. high. The vase is freely painted in underglaze red in sections divided by sets of lines. The mouth and neck are surrounded by a scroll pattern, which is followed by scrolling, spkiy flowers and vines. The main body has water birds in lotus plants designs. The base has ruyi lappets with abstract leaf patterns. The foot is rough, unglazed and shows the orange burnt clay typical of Ming pieces. There are some old, small chips to the outer rim.
The quality of the porcelain, the use of freely painted underglaze red, the rough foot and the design elements all place this vase in the late Ming, probably the Wan Li period (1573-1619). |

Orange Gilt Miniature Meiping Vase
A Chinese miniature meiping shape vase, measuring 4 x 2 1/4 ins., dating to the early 20th century. The vase has a bright orange glaze that is decorated with gilt scrolls and happiness characters. The glazed base has a 2-character mark that reads YU WAN, or (Precious) Jade Curios. This mark can be found on Kangxi to Republic Period porcelain. See Nilsson’s excellent website, www.gotheborg.com, for this mark and many others on Chinese and Japanese wares. See also Qingzheng’s Dictionary of Chinese Ceramics, p. 304, for this mark. I believe that this vase is 20th century. It is in fine and original condition. |

The unglazed, recessed rim around the base suggests that this item once had a cover. The interior glaze is deep blue/green and brown.

Jun Kiln Lion Handle Blue Vase
A Chinese Jun kiln vase, measuring 9 - 10 ins tall and 5 ins. across. The vase is made of yellow, sandy earthenware known as sha t’ai (what Hobson calls “soft Ch’un”). The foot is short, flared, and unglazed upwards to 2-3 inches. The body rises in a gradual flare to a gourd shape that tapers in at the shoulder and flares into a 6-petal mouth. There is an applied petal design around the shoulder as well as applied designs of paired fish on either side of the upper body. Two lion’s head handles with pierced nostrils adorn the sides.
The rich blue body glaze is thick and opalescent. It has some purple splotches and is finely crackled in different areas. The mouth is brown as are the upper edges of the applied designs where the glaze ran off during firing. The clay body can be seen on the unglazed portions, lying beneath what appears to be encrusted dirt from burial. There is one linear crack in the side from firing that measures approximately 5 inches. Flare mouth vases like this were popular in the Song Dynasty but were made into the Qing Dynasty. This vase has characteristics of the Song dynasty earthenware ceramics. |

Edo Period Satsuma Pilgrim Flask Vase
A Satsuma moon flask or pilgrim vase, measuring 14.5 cms. High and 5 cm across the conical base, dating to the mid 1800’s. The earthenware body is covered in an overall yellow/cream crackle glaze typical of Satsuma ware. It is decorated with medallions of gold classic scrolls with geometric designs and black/light blue and red highlights. There are wraparound designs of lotus flowers and pads with 2 cranes in pastel green, brown, pink and white. The conical mouth has a semi-circular border with circles and 2 gold and red floral medallions. The sides have dragon-head lugs; one has been repaired. The base has a squared, classical scroll border. There is a four-character seal impressed into the inside base, but I can’t decipher it beyond the left hand characters that read: SHO DAI SAN. There are small chips on the footrim. |

The candlesticks separate into four pieces - the base, the neck and two circular surrounds. The bulbous base is supported by three dragon feet. The body narrows then flares to a second, smaller bulb that is decorated with three relief figures, possibly GuanYin. The second bulb tapers abruptly to a narrow, turned neck.
