• Description:
  The trade porcelain circulating on the east-west channel in the 17th century has a vast overseas market. However, for Wen Zhenheng, it is indecent that the vessels of the time were shaped like two mandarin, and the Swastika pattern was extremely vulgar. By contrast, it can be seen that there is indeed a big difference between literary taste and market style!
