Blue and White Porcelain Meiping Vase with Peony Scroll, Ming Dynasty
Located in seoul, KR
This piece is presumed to be a blue and white porcelain meiping vase from the mid-Ming Dynasty. The entire body is decorated with arranged peony scrolls painted in underglaze cobalt blue. The vivid yet dark navy tone of the cobalt pigment suggests it may have been produced using pigment typical of the early to mid-Ming period.
The decorative bands, such as the cloud motifs and the lotus petal patterns, contribute to the overall sense of proportion and harmony. The intricate brushwork and density of the design indicate a skilled artisan’s hand. The balanced form and the shape of the foot provide clues for dating the piece.
Period: Mid-Late Ming Dynasty
Medium: Blue and White Porcelain
Type: Meiping
Size : 3.5cm(Mouth Diameter), 27cm(Height)
Provenance : Acquired in late 1990s from Hongkong

Rare Boshan Incense Burner Yue Celadon, Jin dynasty
Located in seoul, KR
The Boshan incense burner is particularly notable among Han dynasty incense burners for its unique shape. Designed to resemble a mountain or even a mythical mountain, it is characterized by its pointed peaks that rise upwards. These peaks often function as vents for the smoke, creating an effect reminiscent of a volcanic eruption.
The body of the incense burner is typically round, with multiple small peaks surrounding a central, larger peak. The material used is mainly ceramic, although there are instances where they were made of bronze. It is presumed that this incense burner was used for religious or ceremonial purposes during its time. The colors of these burners are usually in shades of pale green or greyish brown, with the application of glaze to achieve a variety of colors on occasion.
Such incense burners are often found in tombs or ritual sites, and their purpose was to burn incense for purification of space or to produce pleasant aromas. The Boshan incense burner also represents a significant cultural heritage, showcasing the craftsmanship and artistic values of the period. Today, it is considered a quintessential example of ancient Chinese art.

(Type : Closely related)
* Ming Dynasty Glazed Pottery Figures
Ming Dynasty glazed pottery figures are renowned for their bold color palette, intricate detailing, and lifelike forms, distinguishing them from earlier traditions. These figures, which depict officials, warriors, animals, and mythical creatures, are characterized by high-gloss lead-based glazes in green, amber, ochre, and sancai (three-color) combinations. The thickly applied glaze pools in recesses, creating depth and enhancing sculptural details. With dynamic postures, expressive facial features, and meticulously rendered drapery, these figures reflect the period’s advancement in ceramic craftsmanship, offering a greater sense of movement and realism compared to the rigid and stylized forms of earlier dynasties.
A defining characteristic of Ming glazed pottery is its elaborate surface detailing, often achieved through raised relief elements and contrasting glazes. Equestrian figures, for example, feature carefully sculpted saddles, harnesses, and decorative embellishments, while human figures are adorned with intricate robes and headdresses. The large scale of these tomb figures, often more imposing than those from previous periods, underscores the increasing importance of funerary art during the Ming era. Unlike later Qing Dynasty figures...
