Blue-and-white jar with cover
The organisation of production at Jingdezhen changed radically during the Jiajing to Wanli (AD 1522–1620) era. After 1530, the palace no longer sent officials directly to supervise the kilns. Local officials and members of the Board of Works then alternated that role. Potters produced a wider variety of forms and designs and in larger numbers than at any previous period in Jingdezhen’s history. Despite some individual court orders of more than 100,000 items, the imperial quota accounted for just one per cent of the total output.

青花蓋罐
嘉靖至萬曆時期(1522-1620年)景德鎮的生產組織發生了劇烈的變化。1530年之後,宮廷不再直接指派官員監督御窯,而是由當地官員和工部主事交替擔任這一角色。陶工們燒造的器形和裝飾更為多樣,產量也更大,超越了景德鎮歷史上的任何一個時期。儘管有些情況下,宮廷一次命燒瓷器的數量就超過十萬件,但皇家瓷器所占的份額,僅占全部產量的百分之一。
