The last of the outstanding dynasties, the Ming was vibrant during its first half but racked with internal discord during its second. Scores of workers constructed the renowned Forbidden City, an imperial palace of staggering proportions and opulence. Ming leaders revived a sense of cultural identity and respect for traditional artifacts and craftsmanship. For example, bronze incense burners resembling those of the Shang and Chou dynasties were cast, and bright green and gold ceramic funerary objects recalled the T’ang. Three distinct schools of painting emerged: the Che echoed the formal approach of the Sung; the Wu consisted of, and appealed to, the intelligentsia; and the Eccentric fostered spontaneity and freedom of expression.

After Hung-Wu threw the Mongols out in 1368 AD, he established the Ming Dynasty. But Hung-Wu’s power was still pretty weak after the Mongol invasion. He only ruled China from the Great Wall to the east of Tibet – smaller borders than modern China or than T’ang Dynasty China. Hung-Wu modelled his government on the T’ang Dynasty, trying to keep as much power as possible in the central government and especially in his own hands. To deal with the extra work this made for him, he created a council of his advisers to help him. Examinations came back as a way to select governors and judges.

During the Ming Dynasty, porcelain manufacturing was perfected; improved kilns have been able to produce an abundance of high-quality items of porcelain  The blue-and-white porcelain, for which China is famous, originated during that period, and cotton weaving and silk manufacturing flourished within the eastern part of China.

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.
