What were the certain shapes of porcelain?

There are many different types, shapes, and sizes of porcelain. Bowls, Vases, and dishes are some of the most common types of porcelain. Some of the most beautiful types of porcelain were Gourd-shaped bottle vases, wide-mouthed fish bowls, elegant stem cups, and most typical of all, Mei Ping, or plum-flower vases that were made by the Chinese Potters around the 14th century. Plum-Flower Vases were the most popular vases in China. Why? They were the most popular because of their beauty. Chinese potters painted a lot of animals, plants, mythical creatures, and flowers.
