The Yuan dynasty followed the Song dynasty and preceded the Ming dynasty. It was established by a Mongol named Kublai Khan, though he listed his grandfather, Genghis Khan, as the official founder of the Yuan dynasty on the imperial records. During this period there were some notable changes in Chinese ceramic production – there was, for example, the development in Jingdezhen ware of underglaze and painted blue-and-white pottery. There was a trend towards larger and more elaborate ceramics – a move away from the refined simplicity we see in the Song dynasty.
