I wonder why not much Yuan Dynasty Art Ceramics were not emphasized in the antique china collection world. Perhaps during Yuan Dynasty, China were first rule by the Mongols - the foreigner. The Mongols took over a rich China and less than one hundred years later left an impoverished nation. The Chinese dislike the cannibalism in the yuan dynasty led to destroying of many art pieces of Yuan Dynasty in China.
However, Yuan Dynasty Art has enormously improved since the Sung Dynasty. The standards of the ruling reign led to many production of blue and white imperial ceramics meant for the export market.
Well most of the collectors are largely intrigued with Ming Dynasty and qing dynasty collection of Chinese Ceramics. They must have obviously missed out the Yuan Dynasty Art ching pai collection.
Yuan Dynasty Art on Ching pai wares are the every first evolution of glazed wares when the china potters first learn the technique from the Middle eastern.
Yuan Dynasty Art had carried deep design value compared to those in Ming Dynasty. Sadly most or none of the Yuan Dynasty Art pieces was ever retained in China as it was never love by the native China at that time

New world record for Ming vase
(China Daily)
Updated: 2006-05-31 05:52 HONG KONG: A rare underglaze copper-red Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) vase sold for HK$78.52 million (US$10.13 million) in Hong Kong yesterday, setting a world auction record for Ming porcelain.
Theow Tow, Deputy Chairman of Christie’s Asia and the Americas International Director of Chinese works of Arts, looks at an early Ming underglaze copper-red vase after it was sold for a world record of US$10,122,558 for any Ming porcelain during an auction in Hong Kong May 30, 2006. [Reuters]
“He’s bought the vase at the right price, making a world record,” said Edward Dolman, chief executive officer of Christie’s International, referring to buyer Steve Wynn, chairman of Macao-based Wynn Resorts.
The pear-shaped vase, decorated with a peony scroll, is the only copper-red vase of the early Ming Dynasty still in perfect condition to be offered at auction in more than 15 years, said Christie’s Hong Kong office.
The vase was originally inherited by a Scottish couple who used it as a lamp and did not realize its value until they saw a similar example in a museum.
Ceramics with underglaze copper-red decoration are very rare, owing to their complicated production process.
Mineral copper used to produce the raspberry-red tone is notoriously difficult to control during the firing process, and often leaves the porcelain with a grey or almost colourless coating.
Of the small number of underglaze copper-red Ming vases remaining, most have suffered some degree of damage, especially on the narrow and thin necks. The peony vase auctioned yesterday is one of rare successes where the pattern is expertly executed and the colour is evenly distributed, and has also survived without damage.
