To Master Qing Blue And White in a Few Minutes

I'll tell you how to identify a good Chinese blue and white piece, official kiln during the top of the Qing dynasty. This one's made in Qianlong period and you can see it's a very nice size, nice piece. The underglaze blue is just wonderful with dragon and phoenix represent the royal marriage and the reign mark. It's a Qianlong period, and you can also see the foot rim is very smooth. This one is a very fine texture. The glaze is very thick, and underglaze blue is just unreal. It's such a dark nice blue color. So Qianlong period, that's one of the best example, best piece. One of them they sold for almost like 20 million US dollars. I mean it's just unreal. This one is the top piece, one of the top piece. It represents the pinnacle of the Chinese blue and white ceramic pieces in Qing Dynasty. And this one is called moon flask. It's an eight-faceted moon flask. Look at it. The shape is so unreal. It's very difficult to make this kind of moon flask with faceted size eight. And this one is this. There's not too many of this in the world. There's one similar sold to this. A lot of money, almost like 20 million US dollars. Now the other example piece that I have is a blue and white piece, and this one is a flowers and fruit, and this one, the underglaze blue and white is a little bit different from this one. This is a little bit like blurry, not as bright blue. This one is a little bit, you know, vague and a little hazy, and also look at the The underglaze blue, the mark. So this represents the pinnacle of the official kiln of the Chinese blue and white. Now after this, anything it doesn't look good, like gray color, it doesn't look good, it's no good. So these two represent the pinnacle of the Qing dynasty Chinese blue and white vase. Okay, see you next time.
