After the reign of Ch’ien Lung, China entered into a period of political and economic uncertainty with increasing foreign intervention and domestic upheaval. This turbulent period saw a gradual decline in the quality of Chinese porcelain produced.

In fact, the kilns at Ching-te-Chen were destroyed by the Tai Ping rebels in 1853 and were not rebuilt until 1864. Nevertheless, throughout the later Ch’ing period, Chinese blue-and-white continued to serve as the basic utilitarian ware for everyday use among the countries of Southeast Asia and substantial quantities were exported, some of which were specially decorated to suit the tastes of specific markets such as Thailand and Vietnam.

Towards the end of the Qing dynasty during the Kuang Hsu period (1874-1908) there was a revival in the quality of porcelain and some very fine porcelains were produced during the  closing years of imperial China.

Ming Dynasty Porcelain Plate

Blue-and-white porcelain ceramics requires only one firing and has been considered one of the most economical of decorated porcelains to manufacture.

After firing in the kiln, the soft clay body fuses into a hard porcelain and the film of opaque glaze clarifies into a transparent glassy coating, revealing the cobalt decoration below which, under the high temperature, has turned from dark grey to blue.

The cobalt pigment used was from both imported and local sources. Before the 16th century, most of the cobalt was probably imported from Persia and called Su-ma-li or Su-ni-po blue by the Chinese, perhaps after the Persian name for cobalt, Sulimani. The imported cobalt pigment which produces a strong brilliant blue as typically seen in Yung_Lo and Hsuan Te blue-and-white Ming Dynasty

Time to understand development of blue white porcelain

The earliest known Chinese Stone Age culture was the relatively sophisticated Yang-shao, whose people lived in rudimentary settlements and hunted for game with carved stone spears.

Painted funerary Jar since Neolithic period 2000 BC

The succeeding and more advanced Lung-shan culture identified the social status of the deceased by the type and number of precious jade objects and ceramics in their burial mounds. Chinese Neolithic pottery, both delicate and durable, was artfully decorated and served both practical and ritual purposes.

Painted funerary Jar Neolithic period 2000 BC

Chinese civilization began within a major river valley. Modern China itself is a huge geographical expanse. Around 4000 BC, this huge area contained an almost infinite number of ethnic groups and languages. The course of Chinese history, however, is in part dominated by a single ethnic group and language. This history, in which a vast area populated by diverse ethnic groups became, over time, a more or less single culture, began in the Yellow River Valley.

Neolithic Pottery Jar

Painted pottery jar with wave design in black and red since Neolithic period 2000 BC excavated in Linhsia of Kansu province

The Yellow River is the northernmost of the major Chinese rivers. Directly to the south is the Yangtze River; south of the Yangtze is the West River; south of the West River is the Red River, much of which passes through modern-day Vietnam. Sometime around 4000 BC, when the area was much more temperate and forested, populations around the southern bend of the Yellow River began to practice agriculture. They sowed millet, but some time later, the Chinese began cultivating rice to the south, near the Huai River. These were a Neolithic, tribal people who used stone tools. We know also that they domesticated animals very early on, but they still continued as a hunter society as well. Remains of game animals are almost as common as domestic animals in these villages. We know almost nothing about them, for they left no records, and the life-blood of a people does not flow in the archaeological refuse they leave behind. We believe that tribal warfare was common and that they may have had some form of ancestor worship, but these are mere guesses.

Neolithic Painted pottery jar black and red

Ming Dynasty Porcelain bowl with dragon

Ming Dynasty Porcelain bowl with dragon and cloud design with blue, red greenish vibes added manufactured during Ming Dynasty Cheng-te (1506-1521)  period

An summary update on the revolution of colored ware in the Ming Dynasty.

With the development of an increasing marketplace for ceramics within the late Ming dynasty, many privately owned kilns had been arrange in competition with government ones.

Thus reproductions were being made concurrently by the private kilns and, under imperial patronage, by the kilns at Jingdezhen. Ceramics favored by the court harked back to these produced throughout the reigns of emperors Yongle, Xuande and Chenghua, and so copies were commissioned.

Throughout this period, there have been ceramics imitating Song-dynasty Guanyao, Dingyao, Geyao, Junyao, Longquanyao wares, but additionally blue-and-white porcelain, doucai (contending color) porcelain, red-and-green porcelain, and porcelains with white and red glazes, which copied those produced in the early Ming dynasty.
