Blue-and-white covered jar
This blue-and-white jar is decorated with a lotus scroll around the body. There is a six-character Xuande reign mark in underglaze blue in a double ring on the base. An extraordinary number of Jiangxi men were employed within the central government during the early to mid-fifteenth century, which may have contributed to maintaining Jingdezhen, located in north-eastern Jiangxi, as the main source of court ceramics

青花蓋罐
這件青花瓷罐腹部裝飾以纏枝蓮紋。外底雙圈內署青花六字宣德年款。十五世紀早期到中期,大量的江西人在朝廷供職,這或許有助讓江西東北部的景德鎮保持為宮廷用陶瓷的主要供應地。
