Dehua white porcelain
There is a kind of "white" that makes one feel delicate and refined with a gentle demeanor. Perhaps the "China White" of Dehua white porcelain can provide such a wonderful visual experience. The National Museum is hosting an exhibition on Dehua white porcelain, and if you approach them, you will have a flawless encounter.
Each piece of Dehua white porcelain starts as just a handful of clay dug from the mountains by skilled artisans. They, through generations of heart-to-hand transmission, have passed down the craft of Dehua white porcelain from the distant past to the present day, and brought the exquisite vessels from a corner of the mountains to all four corners of the world. "China White" has come from the distant past and will go to a much longer future. The world is colorful and complex, but it remains untainted.
The delicate fabric of thin paper, the distinct strands of hair, the intricate creases of clothes... From afar, it looks like gauze, but up close, it's porcelain. The National Museum's exhibition of Dehua white porcelain features a craft that is truly amazing.
The kilns have burned for a thousand years without ceasing, and the sound of the pestle grinding has never stopped. Contemporary Dehua ceramic artists draw inspiration from the past but do not get stuck in old ways. They have achieved creative transformation and innovative development of Dehua ceramic firing techniques by enriching artistic themes and improving ceramic materials, so that the ceramics can present a thousand and one forms of beauty. A touch of "China White" not only showcases the beauty of Eastern culture and art, but also reflects people's pursuit of the virtues of the noble man and the beauty of nature.
