The cultural blend of Vietnamese blue and white porcelain

In China, in the first half of the fourteenth century, Jingdezhen potters produced exquisite blue and white porcelain. Since then, there has been a trend in Vietnam to use blue and white to draw iron-colored patterns. Later, Vietnamese blue and white porcelain and Jingdezhen blue and white porcelain appeared on the market of the Islamic world who were keen on blue and white, and appeared in the royal collections of Istanbul (Turkey) and Adabil (Iran).

As for Vietnam’s blue and white craftsmanship, some people have speculated that immigrant craftsmen from Jingdezhen in the Yuan Dynasty introduced blue and white techniques to Vietnam; others believe that Vietnamese potters were able to produce exquisite stoneware in the early fourteenth century, so There are no obstacles in imitating and replicating the technology of blue and white, and local craftsmen are familiar with the work and are more familiar with local materials.

The development of Vietnamese blue and white flowers benefited from the maritime ban policy of the Ming Dynasty. This policy of not allowing pieces to be sold into the sea has greatly restricted the development of China's ceramic trade, giving Vietnamese ceramics a vast international market and sufficient room for growth.
