Provenance: Sydney Moss Ltd, London, United Kingdom. A British private collection, by repute acquired from the above (invoice not available). Sydney Moss Ltd is a London based art gallery. The company was established in 1910 and focuses on Chinese and Japanese works of art, including paintings, calligraphy, and objects in “the scholar’s taste”. It is one of the longest-lived family-owned Asian art dealerships in the West, and the oldest in London.

Literature comparison:
Compare the very similar meiping of the same period illustrated by Zhao Zigang, Qinqci Qinbaicai Zhenpin (The Treasury of Green and Qingbai Wares), Guangzhou, 1997, col. pl. 149. An uncarved Longquan meiping dated to the Yuan dynasty of nearly identical shape, including the collared shoulder and beveled foot, is illustrated in An Anthology of Chinese Art, Min Chiu Society Silver Jubilee Exhibition, Hong Kong, 1985, no. 146. A meiping with similar carved decoration, formerly in the Hirota Collection and now in the Tokyo National Museum, is illustrated in Oriental Ceramics, The World's Great Collections, vol. 1, Tokyo, 1982, no. 107.
