Iconic Shape, Enduring Beauty
The meiping is instantly recognizable by its striking form: a high, broad shoulder that gracefully tapers down to a narrow base, all crowned by a small, delicate mouth. The name itself, "meiping," translates to "plum vase," a nod to its traditional purpose of displaying a single, beautiful branch of plum blossoms. This design creates a sense of balance and sophistication, making it a captivating focal point in any setting.
A Legacy of Craftsmanship
First crafted from stoneware during China's Tang Dynasty (618–907), the meiping was originally used as a vessel for wine. Over centuries, its beautiful shape was perfected and adopted by artisans in Korea and Japan, cementing its status as an iconic form in East Asian pottery. Our vase honors this long tradition, embodying the artistry and history that has been cherished for over a millennium.
