However, there were also some uncertainties in the market of blue and white porcelain. The identification of its authenticity had always been a difficult problem. There were many fakes on the market, and the capital speculation had also pushed up the price, causing ordinary collectors to shrink back. For those who wanted to invest in the collection of blue and white porcelain, they needed to learn professional knowledge to improve their appreciation ability, choose formal trading channels, and do what they could to avoid unnecessary economic losses.

Yuan blue and white porcelain "Xiao Heyue Chasing Han Xin" Meiping was sold at the Macau Art Auction in November 2011 for 840 million Hong Kong dollars (equivalent to more than 680 million yuan).

In the Yuan Dynasty, the imported Cobalt material used to fire the blue glazed porcelain was very precious, and the hair color was still unstable. The blue glazed porcelain of the Yuan Dynasty was mainly "white flowers on the blue ground", and it was more common to see clouds and dragons, and it was almost impossible to see a plain glaze without patterns. The thickness of the matrix is moderate, the matrix is dense, hard, and the degree of porcelainization is high. In addition, ancient porcelain bodies may contain purple gold soil (purple gold sand). Due to the use of purple gold soil, a small amount of brown bubbles may appear under the fired porcelain, like the color of bubbles in soybean oil. This bubble can be used as a basis for identification. At the same time, Yuan Dynasty porcelain was limited by the processing technology at that time. There were many flat feet, many papillions and jumping knife grooves, and the knife cutting was irregular.
