The study of Yuan Dynasty porcelain is an ongoing process, with new discoveries and interpretations continually enriching our understanding of this important period. Future research directions promise to reveal more about the technical, historical, and artistic aspects of Yuan porcelain. Researchers are constantly refining their analysis of artifacts as new information comes to light. Archaeological excavations at kiln sites and trade routes continue to unearth new fragments and artifacts, providing valuable data for researchers. These discoveries offer new evidence of production techniques and trade networks. These new findings help to further inform the research and analysis of Yuan ceramics. Advances in scientific analysis, including techniques like X-ray fluorescence and neutron activation analysis, are providing new insights into the materials used and manufacturing processes employed during the Yuan Dynasty. These scientific methods can provide details about the makeup of the materials and the techniques used to create them. Scientific methods are also useful in assessing provenance. Future research could also benefit from more detailed cross-cultural studies, examining the reception and adaptation of Yuan porcelain in different regions and cultures. This is a global story, which is continuing to be written. International collaboration also offers new directions for study. In conclusion, the field of Yuan Dynasty porcelain research remains dynamic, with ongoing discoveries and evolving interpretations. These studies will enhance our appreciation and understanding of this important period in Chinese art history. The research into the materials and methods involved also provides important information about ceramic manufacture in general. |

This article discusses the challenges and considerations associated with collecting and preserving Yuan Dynasty porcelain, highlighting issues of authentication, ethical acquisitions, and proper conservation.
One of the defining characteristics of Yuan Dynasty ceramics is their large scale. Many pieces, particularly those produced for export or for use in large public settings, were made in impressive sizes that were much larger than those of the preceding Song Dynasty. The larger pieces show a different approach to production and a change in aesthetic sensibility.
