About this work

Dehua in Fujian Province has long been famous for its superb porcelain, the so-called blanc de Chine. It is characterized by a rich, glossy, and transparent glaze without crackle that pools in the recesses of the surface. The colour of this glaze can vary from an ivory or creamy white to a slightly bluish- or greyish-white.
