During this period, there was a notable diversity in design and advancements in techniques. The traditional blue and white porcelain of the late Ming dynasty evolved to include a variety of colors and designs. The themes and motifs on ceramics became more complex and creative. While cobalt blue underglaze porcelain remained popular, overglaze enamel techniques were also widely used, leading to the introduction of diverse colors and textures in the ceramics. The ceramics of this period also underwent significant changes in form and function. New shapes emerged, and various types of vessels and containers for everyday use were produced. The development of tea culture was reflected in the creation of teapots and teacups. The design and decoration of ceramics mirrored the social and cultural changes of the time, often featuring literati paintings, landscapes, and figures. Symbols from Daoism and Buddhism, as well as mythical animals, were commonly incorporated. Additionally, this period saw a surge in the export of ceramics, catering to the demands of Europe and other parts of Asia. Export ceramics, particularly blue and white porcelain and wucai (five-colored) ware, were designed to meet the tastes and preferences of these international markets.
