Ge Mingxiang
Ge Mingxiang was a Chinese potter born in Dingshan, Yixing and active during the Qianlong period. Works by him and his brother Ge Yuanxiang were classified as Yixing ware.
The two brothers also made Yijun ware with mottled blue and green glazes. Their work often took an egg-shaped or baluster form.
Their work was well received both domestically and overseas, especially in Japan.
Later generations continued to use the seal of the two brothers through the early 20th century.
