Tradeware ceramics in the Philippines are ceramics produced in different countries and traded within the Philippines.[1] They are often referred to as export ware and became popular due to their kaolin-type clay that was difficult to replicate.[1] Tradeware ceramics in the Philippines range from Pre-Spanish arrival through the Manila Galleon of the Colonial period. Leading scholars in this field are Carl E. Guthe, Li Jian'an, Li Min, Olov Janse, and Robert Fox.
The main periods of this trade include Yuan (1271–1368), Early Ming (1368–1464), Middle Ming (1465–1522), Late Ming (1522–1644), and the Transitional Period (1644–1683).[2] The primary types of Chinese blue-and-white porcelain found in the Philippines are Jingdezhen and Zhangzhou ware.[2] These porcelain are classified from type I-V.[2]
The case studies of burials and ritual in relation to Philippine tradeware ceramics illustrate the sociopolitical importance of these vessels.
