元代(the Yuan Dynasty)是中國瓷器(porcelain)發(fā)展史上—個重要的時期?；谙惹俺臒萍夹g(shù)景德鎮(zhèn)成功地制作出青花瓷(the blue and white porcelain)。元青花瓷富麗雄渾，其風(fēng)格與傳統(tǒng)的瓷器大相徑庭。元青花瓷的出現(xiàn)也使景德鎮(zhèn)成為當(dāng)時世界制瓷業(yè)的中心。元青花瓷制作精美而且傳世極少，因此異常珍貴。青花瓷的制作在明清兩朝(the Mingand Qing Dynasties)得到進一步發(fā)展，其中的精品是許多收藏家的終極目標(biāo)。

The Yuan Dynasty is a key period in the developmentof Chinese porcelain industry. Based on the firingtechniques of former dynasties, the blue and whiteporcelains had been successfully manufactured inJingdezhen. The blue and white porcelains of theYuan Dynasty are grand and splendid, whose stylesare quite different from those of the traditional porcelains. The rising of blue and whiteporcelain in the Yuan Dynasty also made Jingdezhen the center of porcelain industry in theworld at that time. Finely made and rarely handed down, the blue and white porcelains of theYuan Dynasty are extremely precious. The blue and white porcelains were further developedin the Ming and Qing Dynasties.
