Extended data:

In the period of the Republic of China, the real antique, if porcelain is taken as an example, refers to the official kiln or the special variety in the imperial kiln. Since ancient times, ceramics have been divided into three categories: official kiln, folk kiln, official kiln, and some in the past. The passengers and goods mentioned in the previous books refer to the folk kilns at that time.

There is a saying in ancient books that official kilns are different from folk kilns and official kilns are different from official kilns. There are two explanations for the official kiln. One kind refers to the fine products in ordinary official kilns. In the past, the official kilns were usually fired by hundreds of pieces of a variety. The perfect royal imperial wares were generally first-class or rewarded. 100 Among more than one official kiln work, the top ten are official kilns.

Another explanation of the official kiln is the extremely special variety in the official kiln, such as the common appreciation of dried dragon bottles. The official kiln can only make a special imperial kiln, such as enamel porcelain, such as the hexagonal bottle set auctioned from Hong Kong by Beijing Cultural Relics Company, which can fully reflect the royal wealth. This kind of porcelain is called official kiln. In the Republic of China, only imperial kilns were called antiques.
