Chinese Porcelain

Chinese ceramics are one of the most significant forms of Chinese arts.
Porcelain, also called 'fine china', featuring its delicate texture, pleasing color, and refined sculpture, has been one of the earliest artworks introduced to the western world through the Silk Road.




The Chinese tradition recognizes two primary categories of ceramics: high-fired and low-fired. Chinese ceramic wares can also be classified as being either northern or southern. Present-day China comprises two separate and geologically different land masses, brought together by the action of continental drift and forming a junction that lies between the Yellow and Yangtze rivers. The contrasting geology of the north and south led to differences in the raw materials available for making ceramics.



Through the development of 4,000 years, it is a brilliant art that attracts many people's interest. The Porcelain Capital,Jingdezhen in Jiangxi Province which has been praised for thousands of years, represents the style and aesthetic taste.


Chinese export porcelain includes a wide range of porcelain that was made and decorated in China exclusively for export to Europe and later to North America between the 16th and the 20th century.
