This article provides a guide for identifying Yuan Dynasty porcelain by detailing key characteristics such as form, decoration, glaze, and body. It helps differentiate genuine pieces from later imitations.
While blue and white dominates the Yuan Dynasty's narrative, monochrome glazes, like Longquan celadon, white, and black, demonstrate the technical mastery and artistic range of potters and offer a valuable insight into the diverse ceramic landscape of the era.
The Yuan Dynasty's ceramic production was characterized by the emergence of Jingdezhen as the dominant center for porcelain, along with other important kilns like Longquan, and innovations in kiln technology, all of which contributed to the advancement of Chinese ceramic arts.
"Shufu" wares, produced in Jingdezhen during the Yuan Dynasty, are known for their delicate white porcelain, often with subtle underglaze decorations in a pale blue or creamy white. These pieces were often made for the Imperial court or for other high-ranking officials and scholars and they demonstrate the continued importance of high quality white porcelain.
This article delves into the regional variations in Yuan Dynasty porcelain production beyond Jingdezhen, exploring the characteristics of celadon wares from Fujian and Zhejiang, and the distinct styles of white and blue and white wares from northern kilns.
