Chaoan White Porcelain
The earliest evidence of porcelain in China dates to the Shang dynasty (16th - 11th century BC). The distinctive styles of early porcelain rose from royal commissions for the palace and the development of Zhejiang province as the centre for porcelain in China.
By the Han dynasty, white porcelain was well developed and continued to grow as collectables. By the Yuan Dynasty (1271 - 1368), the ‘Qinghua Ci’, blue and white porcelain had become mainstream and recognised as distinctly Chinese. Today white porcelain or ‘china’ features as an everyday product.
Some items though are still quite collectable and recognised for their ornamental and aesthetic nature. Such is the range of Chaoan porcelain we bring to you.
