A carved Cizhou meiping of comparable broad
proportions and with a similar low conical
mouth, but with different decoration and of
smaller size (10 3/8 in. high), is illustrated by J.
Wirgin in Sung Ceramic Designs, London, 1979,
pl. 43(g). The closely spaced, vertical striations
around the lower portion of the current vase
is extremely rare, as is the unusual pale green
tinge of the glaze, which may have results from
a reducing atmosphere in the area of the kiln
where this vase was fired.
