In 2014,a batch of blue-and-white porcelain-pillow shards were discovered in the blank period stratum at the Ming and Qing dynasties Jingdezhen imperial-kiln site.Through the restoration method of"multiple-categorization and type-based restoration",one hundred and sixteen porcelain pillows of the same type with ten different styles of decorations were aligned and restored.These porcelain pillows provide reliable physical evidence for the study of the court life and the making of porcelain by official kilns from Zhengtong to Tianshun period in the Ming dynasty.Through analysis of partial features and simulation of forming,the following techniques have been re-conducted:forming of the porcelain pillow,methods of applying glaze on the interior surface and painting of the blue-and-white patterns.Through analysis,the author identified the manufacturing method of theses porcelain pillows and considered that they were modeled after Cizhou kiln ruyi-shaped porcelain pillows.Yet,the pursuit of mass production,aesthetics and practicality at the same time,led to repeated production failure.
