A PAIR OF EXTREMELY RARE YAOZHOU CARVED MEIPING VASE
Song Dynasty (AD960-1279)

At first glance, these two Yaozhou Carved Meiping vases look very similar, but in fact their decorative patterns are not the same. Both vases have a small mouth with a rolled lip, broad shoulders, and a belly that tapers towards the bottom. Both are long and narrow, standing tall and erect, and are embellished with unique designs. The decorative patterns consist of straight, smoothly flowing lines that are skillfully drawn, giving them a rather modern feel. One vase has a sort of web design made up of crossing lines, while the other features abstract mountain patterns. Both vases are covered in green glaze, with the finish thicker in the line grooves, further accentuating the design. The walls of the vases are robust and slightly thicker than usual. This pair of vases displays all the typical characteristics found in Yaozhou celadon ware, while at the same time boasting distinctive decorative designs, making this a very special set.
