About
These two Ming imperial wares [CMA 1957.60 [http://www.cma.org/art/1957.60] and CMA 1957.61 [http://www.cma.org/art/1957.61]] are among the smallest, but most precious, of the museum's holdings in Chinese ceramics. The luminous glaze, gestural freedom, and vibrant color are perfectly unified to fit the delicate shapes of these luxury items.
