The Chinese aesthetic in porcelain
In China 3,000 years ago, porcelain was born out of fire. The blue sky in the rain is like the delicate yellow of the new sunflower, and the gorgeous and unmatched Lang Yao red...... Porcelain, the art of "fire and earth", embodies the unique wisdom and aesthetics of the Chinese people.
