Porcelain in Ming and Qing Dynasty
明清时期的瓷器
The Ming and the Qing Dynasties saw another peak period in China's ceramic development. With the development of social economy and foreign trade, pottery and porcelain had become an important source of revenue for the state government. Ceramic technology improved further, giving rise to new achievements in this field including “sweet white glaze” in the Yongle period, “cloisonne” in the Xuande period, and “three plain colors” in the Zhengde period. Among them, the boccaro teapot of Zhengde period kept its prominence for the subsequent 500 years. In the Qing Dynasty imh tation of the famous porcelain in the previous dynasties became a fashion ； on the other hand, some new types of painted procelain were created, for example，the five-colored porcelain and enamel color in the Kangxi period， and the pink-colored porcelain originating in the Kangxi period and mature in the Yongzheng period. Masterpieces of that period greatly enhanced the artistic value of ceramics and gave full expression to the outstanding achievements of the Qing Dynasty's ceramic technology.
明、清时期是中国陶瓷发展的又一个高峰期。随着社会经济和对外贸易的发展，陶瓷已成为州政府收入的一个重要来源。陶瓷技术的进一步完善，使这一领域取得新的成就，包括永乐年间的“甜白釉”，宣德年间的“景泰蓝”，正德时期的“三素色”。其中，正德时期的红瓷茶壶在随后的500年保持其突出的地位。在历代清朝著名的瓷器已成为一种时尚;而另一方面，一些新类型的彩绘瓷已创造，例如，康熙时期的五色瓷器和搪瓷，而粉红色的瓷器起源于康熙时期，成熟于雍正时期。那个时期的代表作大大提高陶瓷的艺术价值和充分体现了清代的陶瓷技术的优秀成就。
