Bottles of this shape, with a narrow mouth, bulging shoulders, and a constricted lower body, are called meiping (prunus bottles) because of their popularity for holding blossoming plum branches. This example has relief décor of peony arabesques made by appliquéing clay onto to the body before glazing.
