Difference between Ming and Qing .

To differentiate between Ming and Qing it is better to look at the technical differences rather than the designs,which are virtually identical.Ming porcelain is much more heavily glazed and sometimes runs of the excessive glaze can be seen.Qing wares are covered in an even glaze, and is much more whiter than Ming, this is due to the fact that the Kang Hsi potters only coated the wares with a thin and even wash.The next point of difference is very important, and that is the footrims on the Ming wares were Knife Pared by hand and the potters made no effort to remove the facets left by the knife blade. Now nearly all Qing wares are smoothed after the trimming process, and not left rough as in the Ming wares.The feet on Ming dishes are higher than Qing examples.They were often undercut immediately, showing that they have been thrown by hand and not as in the Qing items- moulded by a mechanical process using a profile cutter.The final point concerning the footrims on Ming wares, which nearly always shows a narrow orange zone butting the edge of the glaze.This is because of the presence of iron in the body of the porcelain which oxidised more strongly in the kiln, the area most closely in contact with the glaze.
