Ming Gap

The first Ming emperor Hongwu and his successors forbade the export of Chinese ceramics because of perceived competition from Southern Chinese Hong traders during the period known as the “Ming Gap.” Thailand and Vietnam ceramics producers then stepped in to fill the demand for Chinese ceramics by manufacturing their own unique and beautiful pottery. Homgwu promilgated this policy in 1368 and it was reversed in1487.
