Yuan Blue-and-White Porcelain / 元青花

Yuan Blue-and-White Porcelain / 元青花 is the underglaze cobalt porcelain branch in No.213 景德镇往事：千年“世界瓷都”的前世今生. The episode describes the technique as painting cobalt pigment on a white body, covering it with transparent glaze, and firing it so the blue decoration becomes durable.

The source uses Yuan blue-and-white to connect Jingdezhen / 景德镇 to overseas markets. Large plates, bowls, jars, and bottles fit demand from West Asian and Central Asian eating and display habits, while the [[DavidVases|David Vases]] later gave scholars a dated benchmark for recognizing the category.

Connections

• Jingdezhen / 景德镇 - production center.
• David Vases / 大维德瓶 - dated recognition benchmark.
• Porcelain Stone-Clay Binary Formula / 瓷石瓷土二元配方 - material precondition for larger forms.
• Export Porcelain Customization / 外销瓷定制 - later export and customer-adaptation branch.
