Jingdezhen

Jingdezhen, in Jiangxi province, is among the most famous centers of porcelain production in China. The kilns at Jingdezhen became prominent during the Yuan Dynasty, with its exported wares, famed for their thin walls and light weight, becoming highly demanded throughout much of Europe and Asia.

During the Ming Dynasty, the potters of Jingdezhen continued to innovate, while producing wares both for the Imperial Court, and as commissions for trade.
