During the Yuan Dynasty (1279-1368), a considerable volume of Chinese pottery, including dishes and pots, were exported to the Middle East. Often sizeable in format, these objects featured elaborate blue and white decorative patterns. There was also another type, like the two small jars, showcased here, which are characterized by simpler decoration and were relatively scarce. They were destined for export to Southeast Asia, such as the Philippines.
