The Ming Dynasty, which spanned nearly 300 years (13681644), is regarded as one of the most glorious in Chinese history especially as regards porcelain. 'Ming' denotes the fi nest and most precious porcelain, which regularly achieves astronomical prices at auctions. The 'Ming vase' is a popular cliche even for those who are not familiar with the history of Chinese ceramics.
