Porcelain

(File:Porcelain Workshop, Jingdezhen, Jiangxi, China.jpg|right|thumb|300px|Porcelain workshop in Jingdezhen)Jingdezhen may have produced pottery as early as the sixth century CE, though it is named after the reign name of Emperor Zhenzong, in whose reign it became a major kiln site, around 1004. By the 14th century it had become the largest centre of production of Chinese porcelain, which it has remained, increasing its dominance in subsequent centuries. For several centuries, almost all top quality Chinese porcelain has come from the town.Vainker, 176, 216; Rawson, 238–239, 242 From the Ming period onwards, official kilns in Jingdezhen were controlled by the emperor, making “imperial porcelain” in large quantity for the court and the emperor to give as gifts.Although apparently an unpromising location for potteries, being a remote town in a hilly region, Jingdezhen is close to the best quality deposits of petuntse, or porcelain stone, in China, as well as being surrounded by forests, mostly of pine, providing wood for the kilns. It also has a river leading to river systems flowing north and south, facilitating transport of fragile wares.Vainker, 176 The imperial kilns were in the centre of the city at Zhushan (Pearl Hill), with many other kilns four kilometres away at Hutian.KrahlIt has produced a great variety of pottery and porcelain, for the Chinese market and as Chinese export porcelain, but its best-known high quality porcelain wares have been successively Qingbai ware in the Song and Yuan dynasties, blue and white porcelain from the 1330s, and the “famille rose” and other “famille” colours under the Qing dynasty. The town continues to produce cheaper tablewares in great quantity, as well as more expensive decorative pieces. During the Cultural Revolution, Jingdezhen produced a large number of porcelain Mao badges and statues of a seated Mao Zedong.Jingdezhen porcelain has fetched record prices at auctions, with a blue and white porcelain jar produced during the Yuan dynasty auctioning for $27.7 million in London in 2005,NEWS, Melikian, Souren, 2005-07-13, Chinese jar sets record for Asian art, en-US, The New York Times,www.nytimes.com/2005/07/13/news/chinese-jar-sets-record-for-asian-art.html, live, 2020-07-20,web.archive.org/web/20200720164933/https://www.nytimes.com/2005/07/13/news/chinese-jar-sets-record-for-asian-art.html, 2020-07-20, 0362-4331, and a porcelain cup produced during the Ming dynasty auctioning for $36.3 million in 2014.File:Jingdezhen soft paste porcelain flower holder Famille Rose 1736 1796 Qianlong period.jpg|Jingdezhen soft paste porcelain flower holder, “Famille Rose”, 1736–1796, Qianlong periodFile:Jingdezhen blue and white plate Yuan period mid 14th century.jpg|Jingdezhen blue and white plate, mid-14th centuryFile:Porcelain plate - Jingdezhen.jpg|Early Kangxi 17th century, Jingdezhen Ware, Nantoyōsō Collection, JapanFile:Ming plate 15th century Jingdezhen kilns Jiangxi.jpg|Ming plate with grape design, 15th century, Jingdezhen kilns, Jiangxi, British MuseumFile:Chinese - Wine Jar with Carp among Water Weeds and Lotuses - Walters 491917 - View G.jpg|Wine Jar with Carp among Water Weeds and Lotuses, 16th century, The Walters Art Museum
