Porcelain jar painted in coloured enamels with floral design, China, Ming dynasty, Chenghua reign (1465-1487). Jingdezhen kilns, south China. Height: 11.4 cm. Museum number: CIRC.219-1930. Victoria & Albert Museum © V&A Images

In the Ming dynasty (1368-1644) Jingdezhen became the major ceramic-manufacturing centre. Imperial kilns were established to produce fine porcelain for the exclusive use of the emperors. The tradition of inscribing the emperor's reign title on the wares also started in the Ming. The shape of this jar is typical of the Chenghua reign period.
