Exquisite Blue and White Porcelain Plate

Exquisite Blue and White Porcelain Plate, originating in China’s Yuan Dynasty, blue and white porcelain is a celebrated art form known for its striking blue designs on a white background. This style flourished remarkably during the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

Crafted typically from kaolin clay, these pieces are notable for their durability and luster, achieved through high-temperature firing. The intricate blue patterns, often depicting landscapes, flora, or mythology, are achieved using cobalt oxide before the glazing process.

This type of porcelain has not only been a symbol of Chinese artistry but also played a significant role in international trade and cultural exchange, especially during the historical maritime Silk Road era.
