ANTIQUE POTTERY
SHARD: After the invention of pottery in the Neolithic period
(5000 2000 B.C.), the ancient Chinese succeeded in producing
exquisite pottery throughout their dynastic periods. The
production of blue and white wares began with the use of
cobalt and glazing techniques as far back as 1280 A.D. When
the Ming Dynasty was taken over by the Qing Dynasty (about
1639 1700 A.D.) and when the Qing Dynasty was taken over by
the Republic of China (about 1909 1915 A.D.), the
disturbances in these two periods resulted in the collapse of
official kilns. In their places, private kilns were
established by the operators and artists who previously worked
in the official kilns. With their expertise, they produced
high quality porcelain wares, such as export porcelain. When
war broke out in 1937, all kilns were closed and the operators
and artists were dispersed. When peace came in 1945, social
stability led to the re-establishment of the pottery industry
which has regained its previous glory and is enjoying a
growing prosperity. This particular shard was collected by an
individual with substantial knowledge of the Orient while on
private travels to the early Republic of China.
