The Ming dynasty, which lasted from 1368 to 1644, is renowned for its exquisite pottery, particularly blue-and-white porcelain. This style features intricate designs painted in cobalt blue under a clear glaze, showcasing themes from nature, mythology, and daily life. The quality of the clay and the craftsmanship during this period set a high standard for pottery production. In addition to blue-and-white pieces, the Ming dynasty also produced colorful glazes, such as celadon and redware. These ceramics were not only functional but also served as decorative art, reflecting the cultural and artistic achievements of the time. Ming pottery remains highly valued by collectors and historians today.
