The Ming Dynasty in China lasted from 1368 to 1644.
The first Emperor of the Ming Dynasty was Zhu Yuanzhang who adopted the reign name of Hongwu. He could be said to be the first patron of potters as he set up factories to supply porcelain to his Palace. Thus began the golden era of Chinese porcelain. Court influence on the factories aimed at sustaining high standards in all departments. The materials used were pure and refined and much attention was paid to the perfection of forms.
