Features: This book is the result of the author's many years of dedicated collection and research. Its features are: ① Introducing porcelain marks with reign dates of emperors from the Ming and Qing dynasties based on actual examples. ② Introducing hallmarks on Ming and Qing dynasty porcelain, with a detailed discussion of hallmarks from the Kangxi period of the Qing dynasty, as this was the peak period for hallmarks, with the most varieties appearing. ③ Introducing floral monograms on blue-and-white porcelain. ④ Providing data on the diameter of the base and the height of the foot for each piece of porcelain, allowing readers to understand the characteristics of different base and foot features from different eras. Additionally, each piece is accompanied by a brief commentary. Since porcelain from different eras has distinct characteristics, differences in the thickness, size, and inward tapering of the foot can clearly reflect the era, offering effective evidence for modern identification and dating. ⑤ Exquisite actual photographs. The author has scanned, color-adjusted, and printed over 200 actual blue-and-white porcelain base marks with high precision, creating a highly realistic and authentic reference manual for blue-and-white porcelain researchers and collectors, which can be used for comparison during identification. This book primarily introduces blue-and-white porcelain pieces, including: Ming dynasty reign-marked porcelain, Ming dynasty hallmarked porcelain, Qing dynasty reign-marked porcelain, Qing dynasty hallmarked porcelain, and floral monogrammed porcelain.
