二十世紀初的磁州窯收藏中，宋代經典器形梅瓶尤為引人注目。關於梅瓶的用途，歷來有盛酒與貯經兩說。此類繪飾風花雪月、春夏秋冬題材的器物，應屬盛酒之用。至於此梅瓶的等級，筆者此前曾論，以無地（無裝飾）為高。此類裝飾更反應民窯的灑脫自由之美，本件雖瓶口經修補，然源自早期傳承，其間故事亦頗具可挖掘之處。

Among the early twentieth-century collections of Cizhou ware, the classic Song-dynasty meiping form stands out with particular distinction. The function of the meiping has long been debated: one view holds that it served to store wine, the other that it held scriptures. Vessels decorated with themes of wind, flowers, snow and moon, or the cycle of the four seasons, were almost certainly intended for wine. As the author has previously argued, undecorated examples—those with plain ground—are regarded as superior. Although the mouth of the present piece has been restored, it descends from an early provenance, and the story surrounding it retains considerable potential for further exploration.

See a similar vase from the Ataka Collection in the Museum of Oriental Ceramics, Osaka, acc. no. 680. Another, inscribed with different four-character characters likely reading honghua man yuan (“red flowers fill the courtyard”), is in the Art Institute of Chicago, acc. no. 1945.302. Also compare two examples from the Warren E. Cox Collection, illustrated in Warren E. Cox, Pottery and Porcelain, New York, 1970, p. 200; and another in Mayuyama, Seventy Years, Tokyo, 1976, no. 538. Cizhou meiping of this type also bear inscriptions such as “spring, summer, autumn, winter” (春夏秋冬) and “fresh fragrance of superb sake” (清香美酒), suggesting that the vase was very likely used as a wine bottle.
