Yuan Dynasty (c. 1260-1368 ) - In 1260 Kublai Khan
succeeded to the throne of the Mongol rule, and in
1271 he proclaimed this dynastic rule the Yuan. By
1279 the Yuan had unified the whole of China,
including present day Xinjiang, Yunnan, and Tibet. The
arts of this period are a revision of ancient styles,
particularly that of the Tang Dynasty. The forms are
traditionally Chinese but are more extravagant in
decoration. One technique not borrowed from previous
eras was the famous Underglazed Blue porcelain, also
known as Blue and White Ware, which was developed
during the Yuan.

Historical Value - Antiques bring the standards of
couture into the home. Antiquities are works of art or
utilitarian objects from ancient times, which have
normally been excavated from tombs or historical sites.
The huge worldwide demand for these ancient and
often beautiful pieces has led to a critical shortage and
therefore prices have soared to an unprecedented
higher level.
