Bio:
Chinese blue-and-white porcelain of the 17th and 18th centuries was made in Jingdezhen, China’s centre of porcelain production. During the Kangxi and Qianlong periods large quantities were exported to Europe through the trading companies, and the underglaze cobalt-blue decoration of flowers, landscapes and ornaments greatly influenced European ceramics.
