Features: This volume primarily collects common porcelain products from folk kilns, while also including a small selection of official kiln ceramics from the Ming and Qing dynasties. The introduction of ceramics in this book is presented in chronological order of historical eras. Each piece of collection is equipped with basic elements such as name, origin, era, specifications, rarity level, expert valuation, appreciation potential, and collector. First, the basic knowledge of their form, craftsmanship, specifications, function, and natural color variations is introduced, followed by a comprehensive evaluation of their artistic level, scientific value, and cultural heritage value. These evaluations are based on the intrinsic value of the cultural relics themselves and a comprehensive analysis of the experiences formed in the cultural relic and art market in recent years. This book has three major features: First, it is the first to evaluate the rarity level of cultural relics in a ten-level system to address the simplicity and limitations of the national three-level system; Second, it rationally assesses the comprehensive value of cultural relics; Third, it scientifically predicts the appreciation potential of collections, providing collectors with relatively accurate references to avoid market misguidance and disseminating correct and scientific knowledge of cultural relic collection.
