A CHINESE BLUE AND WHITE EIGHT IMMORTALS MEIPING

拍品描述

This classic meiping vase has a compact short neck, broad rounded shoulder and tapering flared foot. Its body is finely painted in rich underglaze cobalt blue with a scene of one Immortal resting amid pine trees, layered rockwork and cloud scrolls, framed by decorative border bands of ruyi heads and vertical petal panels. The brushwork is fluid and detailed, set against creamy white porcelain glaze with subtle age wear at the base. Rooted in traditional Taoist iconography of the Eight Immortals, it stands as a representative narrative blue-and-white vessel much admired by antique porcelain connoisseurs.
