The price of turquoise green glazed famille rose porcelain in the Qing DynastyFrom the reference materials alone, there was a small bowl with a gold pattern painted with turquoise green glaze powder color in the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty, priced at 5940 RMB, and two turquoise green glaze powder color cups in the Jiaqing period of the Qing Dynasty. The price of the big lacquer restoration was 550 RMB, but these price samples were small and could not fully represent the overall price of turquoise glaze powder color porcelain in the Qing Dynasty. Its price could be affected by many factors, such as the age of the porcelain (such as Yongzheng, Qianlong, Jiaqing, etc.), the appearance of the porcelain (whether it has been repaired, the degree of completeness, etc.), the level of craftsmanship (painting techniques, glaze, etc.), and the relationship between supply and demand in the market.

The representative of the Tang Dynasty porcelainThe representatives of the Tang Dynasty porcelain were celadon and white porcelain, as well as the Tri-colored Glazed Tile of the Tang Dynasty.
The celadon produced by the Yue kiln in the south was as clear as ice, as lustrous as jade, and its color was similar to tea green. Its products were widely used in people's lives, and due to the demand for export, there were developments such as sketching prints on the basis of single color.
The white porcelain produced by Xing Kiln in the north is delicate, the wall is hard and thin, and the sound of knocking is like a chime. In the early days, the shape was classical and elegant, without any paint decoration. In the later period, the shape was innovative and simple decoration was added. Some white porcelains appeared in the late Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties, such as printing, edge pressing, flower opening and other decorative techniques.
Although the Tri-colored glazed pottery of the Tang Dynasty was a series of pottery products, it was also a bright color in the ceramic industry of the Tang Dynasty. It was popular in the Tang Dynasty. Its colors were mostly yellow, green, white, and also cyan. It had a variety of shapes and gorgeous colors. Most of them were white, green, yellow, and cyan. It gave people a very comfortable visual feeling and promoted the development of glazed tiles in later temples and palaces. In addition, the Tang Dynasty also had the unique Lushan flower porcelain and the deep and subtle black glazed porcelain, which laid the foundation for the Song Dynasty kiln color changing glaze.

Tang Dynasty porcelain bowlThe Tang Dynasty was the first prosperous period of porcelain development. From the material point of view, the bowls of the Tang Dynasty could be divided into porcelain bowls, metal bowls, and wooden bowls. Among the Tang Dynasty porcelain bowls, there were green glazed porcelain bowls and white glazed porcelain bowls.
The color of the celadon porcelain bowl was as warm as jade, and the color was green. The shape was simple and elegant, and the lines were smooth. The mouth, belly, and bottom of the bowl were carefully carved. It had a high artistic value and was sought after by literati in the Tang Dynasty. The white glazed porcelain bowl was as white as snow. Its texture was pure and flawless. Its shape was also simple and elegant. Its craftsmanship was very high. In the Tang Dynasty, it became a treasure that the royal family, nobles, and literati competed to collect.
In terms of shape, the Tang Dynasty porcelain bowl had a large mouth and a small bottom, and the bottom of the bowl had feet. These two characteristics did not change much. From the early Tang Dynasty to the Five Dynasties, there were obvious changes in the bottom of the bowl, which experienced three stages of change: the bottom of the cake, the jade, and the bottom of the circle (foot). The popular periods of each type basically corresponded to the three stages of the early Tang Dynasty, the middle Tang Dynasty to the late Tang Dynasty, and the late Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties. This feature was of great significance to the archaeological division of dynasties. In addition, one could also analyze the specific age of the Tang Dynasty porcelain bowl from the surface decoration and the different methods of making it.
In the Tang Dynasty, celadon represented by the Yue kiln and white porcelain represented by the Xing kiln were developed, also known as "South Green and North White". The celadon of Yue Kiln became one of the representative porcelains of the Tang Dynasty with its warm, jade-like glaze color and unique shape, while the white porcelain of Xing Kiln won widespread praise for its pure white texture and elegant shape. 19 pieces of Tang Dynasty porcelain were unearthed in the underground palace of the Gate Temple. The shapes of the porcelain were bottles, bowls, plates, plates, etc. Some of them were secret color porcelain bowls. Secret color porcelain was the finest product of Yue kiln as tribute porcelain. It was specially used by the palace. The glaze color and shape were rarely known. It was called "secret color". The ware was mainly green glaze, mixed with agate powder. The glaze was moist and crystal clear, and the glaze layer had a sense of transparent.
