A CHINESE BLUE AND WHITE ‘DRAGON’ MEIPING VASE.

Possibly Ming Dynasty, 15th Century.

Sturdily potted with high rounded shoulders rising to a short waisted neck and a lipped mouth rim from a slightly splayed foot, freely painted in underglaze blue with a fearsome five-clawed dragon in pursuit of a flaming pearl, its long scaly body striding, wrapped around the body of the vase among flames and clouds, the scene divided by a thin double band by a pair of phoenixes among clouds, the foot with a wide border of crashing waves among rocks, 36.5cm H.
