Featuring more than 400 pieces and sets of white porcelain from Dehua in Fujian Province, a themed exhibition is currently underway at the National Museum of China in Beijing to showcase the beauty of Chinese white porcelain and its history of over a thousand years.
With two sections dedicated to interpreting this mysterious "white" porcelain and the skills involved in its production, the collection includes both precious relics and exquisite modern artworks offering a testament to the continuous inheritance and development of the Dehua kilns.
Porcelain has been made in Dehua County since the Song Dynasty (960-1279 AD). The plain white porcelain crafted there was later dubbed "Blanc de Chine" (White from China) by the French and gained worldwide fame, serving as a cultural connection between ancient China and the wider world through trade along the Maritime Silk Road. The porcelain from this area still shines today thanks to its blend of ancient artistry and modern interpretation.
The exhibition, which opened in August, is set to run for three months.
