Porcelain in Ming and Qing Dynasties generally covered the period from Hongwu to Yongle and Xuande, among which Yongle and Xuande blue-and-white porcelain were famous for their delicate glaze color, rich cyan, diverse shapes and exquisite ornamentation, which created the golden age of blue-and-white porcelain. The glaze in this period is mainly the imported material "Suniboqing" with rich colors, with indigo as the main tone. Most tires are white, and the types of utensils are bowls, plates, cups, lamps and other daily necessities. The patterns and ornamentation are ingenious and the lines are free and easy. Blue-and-white porcelain in Yongle and Xuande also topped the auction market because of its exquisite production, and frequently sold at high prices. For example, in April, 2004, Pearl Ridge Mouthwash, a blue-and-white dragon play in Yongle, Ming Dynasty, fetched a high price of HK$ 40,943,750 at Christie's in Hong Kong. In May, 2005, Christie's in Hong Kong launched "Ming Yongle blue-and-white folding technology flower and fruit pattern pier? With a turnover of HK$ 30.36 million, this part of blue and white porcelain has formed the characteristics of high overall price and many high-priced works on the market.

Porcelain characteristics

First of all, the official kiln porcelain in Ming and Qing Dynasties is a non-renewable scarce resource, with a huge collection population, and there are very few official kiln porcelain circulating in the market. There are at least 300,000 people in China who are interested in collecting official kiln porcelain and have the strength to collect it. Now most of the official kiln porcelain has been collected by museums, and the circulation in the market has changed from the early big collectors. Once an opportunity is missed, it is hard to meet it again.

In the west, such as percival David China Art Foundation, Japanese sharping Art Museum Foundation, Swiss Main Hall, etc., collections are often made in the form of foundations. Once it is bought, it will not be put on the market for 30 to 50 years or even longer, so the circulation on the market will inevitably become less and less.

Secondly, it has a long history. It has been 643 years since the official kiln system was formally established in the second year of Hongwu (1369).

Third, the official kiln porcelain in Ming and Qing dynasties was exclusively used by the court, and the imperial brand was much higher than the aristocratic brand (including modern luxury goods).

Fourthly, its design and creative technology are very distinctive, and it is a new type of art with complementary arts and crafts created by the court painter and the team of Jingdezhen craft masters. Moreover, for the sake of the royal system, they spared no expense, and Qianlong and Kangxi even personally participated in the creation and guidance.

Fifth, compared with other art collections in China that are limited to Greater China, the world attribute makes the official kiln have a very strong ability to resist risks. Official kiln porcelain is highly sought after all over the world. As long as one of the eastern and western economies is strong or rising, the price of official kiln porcelain in China will not fall, which is proved by history. As the saying goes, "the east is not bright, the west is not bright, and the east is bright."

Sixth, the tax system of "robbing the rich to help the poor" in western society also makes art a perfect tax avoidance product. The asset allocation of some works of art can reasonably reduce the income tax and the inheritance tax of up to 70%. At the same time, western collectors are relatively mature, and their investment behavior has always been based on objective and rational analysis. They also observed that with the rise of China's economy, more and more powerful collectors will inevitably join the ranks of official kiln collections, so now or for a long time, it is a good time to invest.
