Comments:Published PDF date : Ming Wanli 1573-1620 Room 95 label text:PDF 603Cup with longevity fungus handleThis blue-and-white cup is modelled with a lingzhi (longevity fungus) handle. Porcelain production and the numbers of workers employed within the industry increased dramatically at Jingdezhen in the second half of the sixteenth century. To keep up with the vast demands, non-imperial kilns fired wares for the court on commission as well as for local customers and international trade. Potters made mostly blue-and-white porcelains. Workers mined new sources of inferior-quality clay. This clay had a less good fit with the glaze and is characterised my tiny frits (chips) where the glaze is thin.Porcelain with underglaze cobalt-blue decorationJingdezhen, Jiangxi province 江西省, 景德鎮Ming dynasty, Wanli period, AD 1573–1620
