元代
在景德镇瓷业发展史上，元代是一个承前启后、工艺创新的重要时期，至元十五年（公元1278年），元朝在景德镇设立了“浮梁瓷局”，对景德镇瓷业发展有着重要的影响，是明代御器厂诞生的基础。此时景德镇制瓷原料已从原有的单一瓷石向瓷石加高岭土的二元配方改进，这增加了瓷胎中氧化铝的含量，提升了瓷器的烧成温度，降低了瓷器烧成中的变形率，并为大型器物的烧制创造了条件。元代景德镇瓷业发展的成就突出地表现在青花瓷、釉里红瓷、卵白釉瓷以及红釉、蓝釉、孔雀绿釉等新品种的成功烧制。
Yuan Dynasty
In the ceramic development of Jingdezhen, Yuan time was a linking and creative stage. As early as the 15th year of Yuan dynasty(1278A.D.), the court set up Fuliang Ceramic Bureau in Jingdezhen, which exerted positive influence on the future development of ceramic industry in Jingdezhen and was the base of later Imperial Ceramic Factory in Ming dynasty. In this stage, the raw materials of ceramic making in Jingdezhen were improved from the original uni-recipe of china stone into
bi-recipe so as to increase the content of alumina. Such change raised the firing temperatures so as to overcome the deformation and created condition for the making of big sized products. The
achievements of ceramic development in Yuan dynasty were mainly featured with blue and white porcelain, under glaze red porcelain, spawn white porcelain, red-glaze porcelain, blue and pea-cock green porcelain.
