The Ming Dynasty (1368 1644) is regarded as one of the most
glorious in Chinese history especially in regards to porcelain.
Ming denotes the finest 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. This publication unveils the Ming
myth, by presenting the internationally recognised collection of
Chinese ceramics at the Dutch Ceramics Museum Princessehof. It
comprises spectacular items of the highest quality, which were
created exclusively for the Chinese imperial court. The rich and
varied inventory of Chinese export ceramics for the Southeast Asian
market, primarily from the former Dutch colony of Indonesia, is
presented here in context for the first time. The founding of the
Dutch East India Company VOC1602 also finally opened up the
European market for Ming porcelain. Most significantly the blue and
white Kraak porcelain, which was an exotic decorative luxury in
wealthy households and features prominently in Dutch still lifes of
that era.
