Eight-faceted porcelain vase of mei-p'ing
shape, with a lid, decorated in underglaze blue
with Dragons in
waves, excavated in 1964 at Pao-ting, Hopei. Height
51.5 cm
Yuan dynasty: 14th century AD
In a hoard of porcelain evidently buried by
its owner for safety this vase accompanied three
other blue-and-white pieces. Its shape and
ornament are unique among the blue-and-white
porcelains known from the fourteenth century. The
combination of incised design (the bodies of the
dragons) with painting in blue had not previously
been observed.1
