ming vase
Chinese imperial porcelain
A Ming vase is a piece of Chinese porcelain from the Ming dynasty (1368–1644), prized for its craftsmanship and often featuring blue-and-white designs.
The term evokes extreme fragility and value: Handle it carefully—it's not a Ming vase, but still.
Something described as a Ming vase is delicate, precious, or irreplaceable.
