Features: China is renowned as the "Land of Porcelain." The production of porcelain dates back to the middle and late Shang Dynasty. Initially, the porcelain produced was green, known as celadon. Later, white porcelain and colored porcelain gradually emerged. The transition from celadon to colored porcelain marked a significant breakthrough and advancement in China's porcelain-making technology. It broke free from the constraints of traditional monochrome glazes and ushered in a new era of colorful porcelain decoration.
