<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Francisco G Kempton, post: 4309481, member: 22714&quot;]Boren Ming which is rural provincial Ming era earthenware pottery. Gotch, now that is a whole new term for me. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" /> Totally never knew that it existed. Thanks Aj. </p><p><br /></p><p>Kitchen Qing is also a very useful term and please I hope no one takes this as Snobbery as it is not, Kitchen Qing is useful as it helps to catagorise Chinese -western exports from Chinese -South East Asian exports. This is useful as the market is geared toward western exports as they were made to a much higher quality due the money that was available from the west and the desrie for high quality porcelain. The more provincial ware was more pragmatic as a utility and had no requirement to be high quality. I personally like it because it requires doing less research and less analysis. I like some kitchen qing and many rice bowls fall into that catagory and some are colectable and is most likely the reason rice bowls never took off for collectors. However i do not want to study every pot ever made in china.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
