A traditional plum-shaped vase dating to the late-Qing Dynasty in Taiwan – circa 1870-1890. Minyao refers to the piece being locally made for common use in a farming household rather than for imperial or ruling households. Purchased from an old farming family on Taiwan’s north coast overlooking the East China Sea.
此件為台灣清朝晚期(約西元1870–1890年)製作的傳統梅瓶,屬於「民窯」器物。民窯是指此器物為地方燒製,供農家日常使用,而非為皇室或統治階層所製。購自台灣北海岸一戶老農家庭,其居所俯瞰東海。
