Sir with all due respect..to my knowledge the Xuande piece should not reflect silvery shine on the reflection of the torch light ..it should look like muddy blue..silvery shining on the blue underglaze on light reflection is restricted to only yuan dynasty blue and white piece. Pls correct me if I’m wrong
This happens on all pieces that used the Imported samali blue cobalt which they used from the Yuan dynasty to the Ming Dynasty the Chenghua period, after that period they ran out of this cobalt and it’s been over five hundred years since that cobalt was available, I mistakenly only talked about the silvery reflection where the cobalt brakes the surface of the glaze. If they used the imported cobalt it will show silvery or black not brown because brown spots mean they used Chinese Cobalt and that would mean the piece could be a modern piece. The Yuan dynasty you likely will see a lot of heaping and piling, all the early Ming pieces used the imported cobalt but had less heaping and piling there are Xuande pieces without heaping and piling there rare, Chenghua pieces do not have heaping and piling because they refined the cobalt so well.
Amazing master pieces! Thank you for sharing on the video!
