Wanli Blue and White Market in Ming Dynasty for Appraisal and Valuation.

The age of colorful dragons and phoenixes in the market: Ming Wanli was 4.6cm high, 30.3cm in caliber and 20.3cm in foot diameter. Big disc, small mouth, narrow lips, short round feet. The tire is thin, the glaze is white, the surface pattern is underglaze blue and white, and the glaze is painted with low temperature color. During the Wanli period in Ming Shenzong, official handicrafts liked to make colorful works, which meant auspicious and trivial themes. On the same plane, different spaces and themes are often separated by various shapes of open shelves, so that viewers can see all the decorations almost seamlessly; A variety of themes are presented side by side, which makes people dizzying and fully creates a gorgeous and lively atmosphere; The same style can also be seen in the pattern design of lacquerware and fabric at this time. On the other hand, if we carefully observe the details, we can see that the painter's pen is weak and scrawled, the pen line appears inadvertently, and the color overflows out of bounds, indicating that the kiln at this time has a large number of production systems but neglected management, and the craftsman's coping mentality. Take the dragon and phoenix flowers at the beginning of this song as an example. The dragon and phoenix are only formal shapes, and the leafy lotus flowers are only carefully sketched and colored, making the pen look weak and naive, as if it were just a gourd and a false story. However, it still tries to keep the original appearance of the official style. The official soil is pale white, the glaze is bright, the pigment is washed evenly, and its complexity, miscellaneous colors and fine filling and dyeing have become the amazing characteristics of this period.
