But it was not until the sixteenth century, when the Portuguese began their vast Eastern under- takings, and early in the seventeenth, when the Dutch estabhshed their Oriental trade, and later, OLD CHINESE 27 about 1640, when the East Indian Company of this country increased their operations, that the fine porcelains shipped from Canton began to be seen generally in Europe. The desire for Oriental wares grew with the possession of them, and the Portuguese, the Dutch, and the English developed t...he trade rapidly during the seventeenth century. Various authorities have classified the Chinese productions in the following chronological form, with a statement of the decoration employed in each period. First, the primitive, the Sung and Yuan dynasties, 960-1367. At this time the pieces were not painted, but glazed in six different ways — namely, single-coloured glaze, crackled and uncrackled, flambe glazes, souffle glazes, and glazes of several colours. Second, the Ming period, 1368-1643. At this time porce- lains were painted in colours, sometimes under glaze in cobalt-blue, copper-red, or in five or more over-glaze colours, sometimes in under- glaze and over-glaze together.
