Anotations

Scope note:

Refers to the culture, style, and period associated with the late Ming Dynasty, 1522-1566. The style is characterized by both blue and white and enamelled ploychrome ware, with the introduction of ewers and gour-shaped vessels. On larger vessels, there was a tendency to break up the surface into a series of formal and informal bands.
