Ge Mingxiang

Ge Mingxiang (1736–1795) (Chinese: 葛明祥; pinyin: Gě Míngxiáng) was a Chinese potter born in Dingshan, Yixing and active during the Qianlong period.

[1] Works by him and his brother Ge Yuanxiang (Chinese: 葛源祥; pinyin: Gě Yúanxiáng) were classified as Yixing ware.

Their work often took an egg-shaped[2] or baluster form.

[3] Their work was well received both domestically and overseas, especially in Japan.

[1] Later generations continued to use the seal of the two brothers through the early 20th century.
