The Jingdezhen porcelain is exclusive to this town so tourists may want to bring one or two pieces home.

 

Jingdezhen ware became particularly important from the Song period with the production of Qingbai (Blueish-white) ware. The Jingdezhen Qingbai was a transparent and jade-like type of porcelain, with a blueish-white glaze. From the mid-14th century, Jindezhen began to mass-produced underglaze blue porcelain. Official kilns for Imperial productions were established in Jingdezhen in the Ming Dynasty.With the Qing period, designs became more varied, combined folk and imperial styles, and Jingdezhen ware became famous around the world. Later on European countries started to rival Chinese porcelain productions, initially by imitating Chinese styles, and later by developing their own original artistic patterns.

 

 

Porcelain and ware are sold from shopping malls to street vendors. The biggest one is located in the city center, which could be reached by bus No.16 and No.47. Be aware of fake products and exaggerated prices.
