Features: In recent years, with the continuous improvement of people's living standards, the popularity of collecting porcelain has been on the rise. Collecting interests vary greatly. In addition to favoring colored porcelain such as blue-and-white, (wucai), doucai (), and fenci (), there is also a group of ancient ceramic enthusiasts who are particularly fond of colored glaze porcelain. Take colored glaze porcelain as an example—some prefer celadon glaze, some white glaze, some red glaze, some blue glaze, some yellow glaze, some purple glaze, and so on. This book showcases blue glaze porcelain. Blue glaze uses cobalt oxide as the colorant and was first seen in Tang sancai (). The Song Dynasty's Jun kiln primarily used sky-blue glaze as its main color. The Yuan Dynasty's Jingdezhen kiln produced high-temperature blue glaze porcelain, while the Ming and Qing Dynasties further developed various blue glaze porcelains such as jilan (, jibi (), jiqing (), and gem blue), salan (, also known as snowflake blue or qingjin blue), sky-blue, and peacock blue.
