Jingdezhen Porcelain 景德镇瓷器 景德鎮瓷器

Jingdezhen sits in the heart of Jiangxi, where a moderate climate, abundant rainfall, and an ideal level of humidity meets mountain ranges and rivers, resulting in soil that is rich in minerals and perfect for forming the clay from which pottery is made. The mention of Jingdezhen immediately brings to mind pottery, and in particular blue-and-white porcelain. With a history of 1400 years, blue-and-white porcelain is much loved in China.
