This Beijing art form first appeared in the Yuan Dynasty (1271-1368) and later became popular in the Jingtai Emperor period (1426-1456) of the highly artistic Ming Dynasty. The blue shade of enamel was developed during that period. It became the dominant colour of enamelware so much so the Chinese word for cloisonné became known as "jin-tai-lan", or "Jingtai blue."
