CHINESE FINE PORCELAIN
Chinese Porcelain Selections
Fine Jingdezhen Porcelain
Modern & Classic Chinese Teapots & Tea Ware

The Ming period saw the emergence of the Jingdezhen kilns as the Imperial pottery centre of China. Jingdezhen became known for its fine translucent porcelains, impeccable artwork and above all its Qing Hua or Blue-and-White wares. Jingdezhen porcelain techniques were eventually exported throughout the world, making 'china' synonymous with fine handmade porcelain. The export of these white china-clay wares encouraged the founding of porcelain manufacture in Japan, Germany and England. Throughout Qing China vast quantities of Jingdezhen porcelain was traded under the name of Nanking ware. But much of the twentieth century saw a collapse in the trade of Jingdezhen porcelain, with a steep decline in quality. The revival which has followed over the past twenty years has again made fine Jingdezhen china available to porcelain collectors and tea enthusiasts.
