Palace Museum ceramics

The Palace Museum holds more than 370,000 ceramic objects, including major imperial collections inherited from the Ming and Qing palace. The highlights for visitors include Ming Xuande-era blue-and-white wares (15th century — often discussed as a technical high point of cobalt-blue painting), Qing Kangxi famille verte (green-dominant overglaze), and Qing famille rose / fencai that developed in the late Kangxi period and reached a high level of refinement under Yongzheng and Qianlong.

Ming-Xuande-Blau-Weiß

The Ming Xuande period (1426-1435) is considered the technical peak of cobalt-blue underglaze painting. The cobalt came from Persia (Su-Ma-Li blue), arrived via Silk Road trade, and gave the porcelain a deeper, more vivid blue than later domestic cobalt. Xuande wares are often signed with the imperial reign mark (six characters); collectors prize them above all other Chinese ceramics. The Palace Museum holds an important Xuande collection.

• Periode: 1426-1435.
• Persischer Kobalt (Su-Ma-Li-Blau).
• Technischer Höhepunkt von Blau-Weiß.
• Kaiserliche Regierungszeichen (sechs Zeichen).

Famille rose der Qing-Dynastie

Famille rose / fencai developed in the late Kangxi period and reached a high level of refinement under Yongzheng and Qianlong. The pink palette is associated with opaque enamels that expanded Qing polychrome painting. The result can include pastel landscapes, peonies and figures in soft pink, rose and white tones on white-glazed bodies. Famille rose is a useful Western collecting label, not a claim that Qing porcelain equals only pink enamel.

• Late Kangxi origins.
• Yongzheng–Qianlong refinement.
• Opaque pink enamel palette.
• Western collecting label, not the whole Qing field.

Brennöfen von Jingdezhen

Most Forbidden City porcelain was made at Jingdezhen in Jiangxi province. The Ming court established an imperial porcelain production facility at Jingdezhen in 1369, and the imperial kiln system continued through the Qing dynasty. Imperial kilns existed alongside commercial and private porcelain production. At the peak under Kangxi–Qianlong, large workshop systems supplied the court; pieces failing imperial inspection were often destroyed, while accepted pieces were transported north to Beijing.

• Jingdezhen, Provinz Jiangxi.
• Imperial facility from 1369; continued through Qing.
• Imperial and commercial production coexisted.
• Failed pieces destroyed; accepted ones shipped to Beijing.
