Where are the fragments of Tang blue and white porcelain unearthed?

Blue-and-white porcelain in the Tang Dynasty was in a period of abuse. Now we can see more than 2 pieces of blue-and-white porcelain fragments unearthed in Yangzhou from 197s to 198s. A blue and white striped replica collected by fung ping shan Museum; A floral bowl collected by Boston Museum, USA; A fish algae jar collected by Copenhagen Museum in Denmark; A stippled Mei Duo tattoo cover collected by Nanjing Museum.

By studying the embryo, glaze and color of porcelain pieces unearthed in Yangzhou, and analyzing the material and technical conditions of Gongxian kiln in Tang Dynasty, it is preliminarily concluded that the origin of blue and white flowers in Tang Dynasty is Gongxian kiln in Henan Province. In recent years, a small number of blue-and-white porcelain specimens were unearthed in Gongxian kiln site, which further confirmed that the origin of Tang blue-and-white porcelain was in Gongxian kiln, Henan Province.

From the blue-and-white porcelain pieces unearthed in Yangzhou, it can be seen that the green material is rich in color with crystal spots, which is low in manganese and iron, containing copper and cobalt, and should be imported from Central and Western Asia. The fetal quality is coarse and loose, beige, and the sintering degree is poor. The bottom glaze is white and yellow, and the enamel is thick. Apply makeup soil between fetal glazes. The types of containers are mainly small pieces, including complex, bowl, jar, lid and so on.

except for the fish and algae jar collected in Copenhagen Museum, Denmark, the other patterns are flowers and plants. Among them, the patterns of flowers and plants are divided into two categories. One category is typical Chinese traditional flowers and plants, especially small flowers such as carnation and plum blossom. The other type is a typical Arabic pattern with loose leaf patterns in geometric figures such as diamonds. From this point of view, combined with the sites where blue-and-white porcelains were unearthed in the Tang Dynasty, it can be proved that blue-and-white porcelains in the Tang Dynasty were mainly for export.
