Features: Compared to the "high-end" collecting in the collecting fever, "mass" collecting is becoming increasingly active. As a hobby and for the need of investment and appreciation preservation, more and more people are eager for expert guidance while also hoping to obtain the most useful knowledge and collecting skills in the shortest time. "Appreciating Treasures: Mass Collecting" series takes this as its starting point, covering all aspects of mass collecting, such as the optimization of art collection categories, systematic collecting knowledge, simple and practical appreciation points, and accurately updated investment information, truly creating a low-cost, high-quality, and professional-level collecting book for the general public.
The Ming and Qing dynasties were the peak periods in the history of Chinese porcelain development. In addition to the traditional pure and elegant monochrome glaze porcelain, colored porcelain experienced unprecedented development with a rich variety of colors. "Jihong (clear red), fanhong (sulfur red), jiqing (clear blue), fengqing (powder blue), dongqing (winter green), ziliu (purple-green), gold, silver, lacquer black, and miscellaneous colors were applied one after another." Different colors reflected and shone against each other, competing in beauty, presenting a vibrant and magnificent scene of splendor.
