About this Item
A pair of Chinese blue and white jars and covers, late Ming/early Qing Dynasty
Notes
"To European collectors, the mention of 'Ming Dynasty' is almost inseparable from 'blue and white' porcelain. The 16th-century Italian Jesuit missionary marvelled at the technical capabilities of Chinese porcelain, writing that "there is nothing like it in European pottery, either from the standpoint of the material itself or its thin and fragile construction [...] It is highly prized by those who appreciate elegance [...]" 3
