Why is a Ming vase so admired?

Ming porcalain is admired and distinguished for its use of colour. It was the most important development of china's Ming dynasty (1368-1644) in the realms of art. A completely new style arose in which the emphasis was on the decorative element as opposed to form and glaze with which the potters of the Sung (960-1279) and Yuan (1280-1368) dynasties had been concerned.
