About the kendi, there is one scientific paper 'kendi' written by Michael Sullivan, which talked about the history and different provenance of kendi. Combining the shape, the paste, and the flower execution way as well, which mentioned in this video, I would agree with Dr. Pierson and put this kendi into the early 16th century period.

A closer shot on the objects would have been much better......Also I would date the Kendi an early 17 century piece somewhere between 1610-1640 as opposed to be a 15 century piece mentioned by the lovely lady with silver hair. The cobalt blue does not appear to be the blue used in the 15 century known as Soliman and Pingdengqing , instead more of a Zhe blue which was introduced into the Jingdezhen market at the later Wanli period and continued onto 18 century; The unglazed foot and sandy white paste also a production indication of the 17 century kiln work...great tutorial though!

Beg to differ. The ladies were right, the kendi was of the Hung-Cheng two eras.

I find myself becoming very interested in ceramics in my mid 30s. If you knew me IRL, you'd be very surprised at this development
