Dear all,
I don't know how is the matter in the snuff bottles field, but in porcelain field, from where I think that the names of the types are coming, meiping has two main shapes, which are shown in the first two pictures below. The first one is more common in Song/Yuan periods, the second one is more common in Ming/Qing period. The classical baluster shape is that of the mirror black vase of the last picture.
The example posted by Kevin is more baluster shape than meiping to me.
Kind regards
Giovanni
