The History of Jingdezhen Ceramics
Located in China's Jiangxi Province, Jingdezhen boasts a history of porcelain making that spans over 1,700 years.
Jingdezhen's porcelain journey began during the Han Dynasty (202 BC - 220 AD), when locals began crafting simple pottery. Over time, by the Tang Dynasty (618 - 907 AD), Jingdezhen had become renowned for producing high-quality celadon (blue-colored porcelain) and white porcelain. These porcelains, famous for their delicate texture and smooth glaze, began to be traded throughout China.
