Book Description
Jingdezhen, the world-renowned ceramic capital has enormous remains in reserve and many advantages. They can be classified as the sources of raw materials, the land and river transportation facilities and networks, the moats and the yamen offices, the shops and old houses, the workshops and kilns, the heirloom ceramics and unearthed artifacts from kiln sites, as well as the techniques and traditions. Therefore, the potter's craft grounded on Jingdezhen's natural reserves has become part of the everyday life; and therefore, it is a unique cultural heritage in Jingdezhen. The essence of ceramics is conveyed through wares in aesthetic forms and masterly skills.--Preface.
