The shape and decoration of qingbai wares were often inspired by contemporaneous silver vessels. A silver meiping ornamented with ruyi-shaped scrolls, excavated from a Southern Song hoard in Sichuan, appears to provide a close parallel and may have served as the prototype for the design of the present vase. The silver vessel is illustrated in S. Kwan, “Tixi wenyang fenqi chuyi,” Proceedings of Conference on Ancient Chinese Lacquer, Hong Kong, 2012, p. 65, fig. 11.
Qingbai vases of this form and decoration are represented in major museum and institutional collections worldwide. An almost identical example, formerly in the Qing Court Collection and now preserved in the Palace Museum, Beijing, is illustrated in The Complete Collection of Treasures of the Palace Museum—33—Porcelain of the Song Dynasty (II), Hong Kong, 1996, pl. 167. Another example, designated an Important Art Object in Japan, is illustrated in Mayuyama Seventy Years, vol. 1, Tokyo, 1976, pl. 450. A related vase in the collection of The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, is illustrated in Oriental Ceramics, The World’s Great Collections, vol. 11, New York/Tokyo, 1982, pl. 59. A slightly larger example (28.6 cm high) in the Idemitsu Collection is published in Chinese Ceramics in the Idemitsu Collection, Tokyo, 1987, pl. 423, while another in the Meiyintang Collection is illustrated by R. Krahl in Chinese Ceramics from the Meiyintang Collection, vol. 1, London, p. 325, no. 606. Two additional qingbai meiping of this type from the Yangdetang Collection were sold at Christie’s Hong Kong, 30 November 2016, lots 3140 and 3141.
