Ming Dynasty Xuande porcelain refers to porcelain fired by Jingdezhen Imperial Kiln Factory during the period (1426-1435 AD, the 4th year of Emperor Xuanzong of Ming Dynasty). It is the most famous for its blue and white porcelain. It is famous for its delicate and pure body, moist and quiet glaze layer, crystal clear and colorful patterns. Compared with other dynasties of the Ming Dynasty, its firing technology reached its peak and became one of the famous porcelain products in my country. Its achievements are praised as "unexpected in a generation."

During this period, not only the quality of official kiln products was extremely particular, but the limited number of folk kiln products were also very fine, which was quite elegant. Xuande porcelain generally has high artistic value and economic value. The exquisitely fired blue and white porcelain has received high praise in later generations, even surpassing the Yongle Dynasty porcelain. In view of the great achievements of Xuande porcelain, later generations competed to imitate it, especially the Qing Dynasty Kangxi and Yongzheng period, which was the highest level of imitation. It was based on the Xuande blue and white porcelain in the old collection of the Qing Palace and was carefully burned. The shape, size and patterns are very similar to the original work, with the charm of Xuande blue and white porcelain.

Ming Wang Shixing recorded: "In this dynasty, the two kilns of Xuan (Xuande) and Cheng (Chenghua) are the best. Xuan kilns are blue and white, and Cheng kilns are colorful." Zhang Yingwen of the Ming Dynasty described the kilns in " Qing Secret Collection " in "My Kilns in Xuanmiao in our dynasty, the material is fine and thick, the orange peel pattern is faintly raised, and the eel blood pattern is almost against Guan and Ru kiln. That is, dark flowers, red flowers, blue and white, all have never been seen in ancient times, and it is a masterpiece of the generation." During the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, Zhu Yan talked about the Xuande Kiln "According to this, the Xuan Kiln in Ming Dynasty was at its peak, the selection of materials, samples, painting instruments, and inscriptions were all exquisite."

As a palace porcelain and exquisite works of art, its unique artistic charm has a lot to do with the completeness of the system and the maturity of technology at that time. The works have always been praised by later generations and are a model of blue and white craftsmanship.
