Ming Dynasty (c. 1368-1644) In 1368 Zhu Yuanzhang
proclaimed himself Emperor and set up the capital in
Nanjing. In 1421 the 3rd emperor of the Ming reign
moved the capital to Beijing. This is known as the great
age of scholarship. Buddhist sculpture declined. Boldly
sculpted and brightly colored tiles are typical of the
Ming Dynasty, and there was a love for color and
luxurious living. The Blue and White porcelain
technique of the Yuan was refined, and the popularity
of these artistic creations soared.!

Historical Value - Antiques bring the standards of
haute 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.
