Excerpt from A Sketch of the History of Ceramic Art in China: With a Catalogue of the Hippisley Collection of Chinese Porcelains Is. W. Bushell, Chinese Porcelain before the Present Dynasty, Nos. 33, 80, 18, With the sole exception of the Nanfeng ware, and a portion of that from Linch'uan, produced during the Yilan dynasty, none of which seems to have survived to the present day, but which is described as having been decorated with owers coarsely painted under the glaze, 1 can find nothing in the works of Chinese writers on this subject to justify the concession of a greater antiquity than the early part of the Ming dynasty that is, the first half of the fifteenth century - to the ornamentation of vases with arabesques and scroll work, with land scapes, historical scenes, or genre paintings in several colors.
