About this item
Jingdezhen continues to produce blue and white porcelain today, with both traditional methods and modern techniques. Contemporary artists in Jingdezhen often create works that pay homage to the classic styles while also incorporating innovative designs.
Porcelain: Jingdezhen is known for its high-quality porcelain, made from a specific type of clay called kaolin.
Cobalt Blue: The blue designs are created using cobalt oxide, which turns a vibrant blue under the high temperatures of the kiln.
Underglaze: The blue patterns are painted onto the white porcelain before it is glazed, giving the finished product a smooth, glossy surface.
Blue and white vases from Jingdezhen are among the most celebrated and iconic ceramics in Chinese art history. Jingdezhen, a city in Jiangxi Province, China, is often referred to as the "Porcelain Capital" due to its long history of ceramic production, dating back over 1,700 years. The blue and white porcelain style, in particular, has been highly prized both in China and around the world.
