<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Any Jewelry, post: 243724, member: 2844&quot;]I have no idea of the era, I think it is European and there are others on the forum who know much more about European pottery and porcelain than I do. The glaze looks very European too.</p><p>About why I say it is not Yuan, it is 40 yrs of studying Chinese porcelain, Yuan being my personal favourite. If I were to list the differences between Yuan blue and white porcelain and your planter, I&#039;d have to take hours. But here is an example of Yuan blue and white:</p><p><img src="http://p5.storage.canalblog.com/54/95/119589/91010458.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>You can see the flowers and leaves have body, they are painted strongly, with great confidence. Yuan blue is stunning blue, but has a tinge of black, as you can see here, and white is really white.</p><p>There are bands of other designs above and below the floral pattern, enclosing it. The lower band shows Persian influence, another Yuan classic. The flowers also show Persian influence. The shape is perfectly balanced, attention has been paid to harmony and bringing that across to an observer.</p><p>I think you can see now that yours, lovely as it is, is not Yuan. The execution and the thought process behind the design are very different.</p><p>Here is more info on the above jar:</p><p><a href="http://www.alaintruong.com/archives/2013/10/28/28311406.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.alaintruong.com/archives/2013/10/28/28311406.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.alaintruong.com/archives/2013/10/28/28311406.html</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
