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.

Chinese Blue White Yuan Porcelain

Exactly when Chinese blue-and-white China Porcelain was first produced is still a subject of fervent debate among ceramic experts. Chinese tradition has it that blue-and-white was first developed in the Sung Dynasty (960-1279), then refined and put into commercial production in the Yuan Dynasty (1280-1368) and finally reached its peak of aesthetic maturity in the early Ming period (1368-1644).

However, the current opinion among most Western ceramics experts is that Chinese blue-and-white was only started in the first half of the 14th century, some time just before the middle of the Yuan Dynasty between 1322 and 1330.

Ming Underglazed Red Pear Vase

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.
