Jingdezhen, in [[Jiangxi province]], is among the most famous centers of [[porcelain]] production in [[China]]. The town has been described as one of the earliest "industrial" towns in world history, and the pottery kilns at Jingdezhen have been active for over a thousand years. They were one of the chief locations where China's now-world-famous blue-and-white (''qingbai'') porcelains were produced.

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