Collectors look for heavy, well-potted bodies, dense painting arranged in bands, dark cobalt that can gather in blackish spots, and unglazed bases that often fired to an orange tone. Yuan porcelain carries no reign marks, so it is dated by form, body and painting. Our guide to Yuan blue and white sets out the signs. Underglaze red has a page of its own, and our history of Chinese blue and white porcelain places the Yuan in the longer story.
This collection is mostly blue and white: large chargers and dishes, vases, jars and a bowl, painted with fish and lotus, phoenixes, qilin and figure scenes, with some pieces in underglaze red. Several are catalogued as late Yuan to early Ming, where the two periods meet.
