Rare Yuan Dyn. Blue and White Meiping






The underglaze cobalt-blue shows the
expected inconsistencies in richness
and density. There is clear glaze
'piling' as seen in most early
cobalt-blue glazed wares. The flat and
unglazed foot exhibits what is
referred to as a 'rice cracker' finish..
The foot edge shows potter's cut
marks. Condition consensus is
extremely fine condition without injury
or repair.
The Yuan Dynasty (1271-1368) is a key
period for the development of the
firing techniques of the Blue and
White Porcelain in China. Its unique
characteristics were based on the
techniques of the former dynasties.
The Blue and White Porcelain had
become major porcelain product of
China by the Ming (1368-1644) and
Qing Dynasties (1368-1911).
The Blue and White Porcelain of the
Yuan Dynasty is large in size, with
thick roughcast. Generally there are
big bottle, big pot, big bowl and big
plate, with the traditional flavor of the
Tang (618-907) and Song (960-1279)
dynasties. Due to the underdeveloped
techniques, there are two interfaces
on the body and several veins inside
the body. The roughcast is not as
smooth as that of the Ming and Qing
Dynasties, while the glaze of the Blue
and White Porcelain of the Yuan
Dynasty is thicker than that of the
Ming and Qing Dynasties, due to more
iron in the raw material of the glaze.
The major producer of the Blue and
White Porcelain in the Yuan Dynasty
was Jingdezhen. Besides, there were
kilns for the blue and white porcelain
production in Zhejiang Province, east
of China and Yunnan Province,
southwest of China.
