The date has been given as 1351 (11th year of the <a href="/wiki/List_of_Chinese_era_names" title="List of Chinese era names">Zhizheng era</a>), towards the end of the Yuan dynasty. According to the British Museum they are the earliest dated blue-and-white porcelains. The date suggests that the blue-and-white technique was already sophisticated enough by the late Yuan period for works of such quality to be produced. At the time they were collected by Percival David, the blue and white style was thought to have been invented during the next <a href="/wiki/Ming_dynasty" title="Ming dynasty">Ming dynasty</a>, and the vases played a role in overturning that assumption and placing it under the Yuan dynasty.
