During the fourteenth century, Chinese ceramicists at the kilns at Jingdezhen, located in the southeastern province of Jiangxi, refined and perfected the art of porcelain painted with cobalt-blue decoration. Blue-and-white porcelain remains one of the most imitated and influential advancements in the history of ceramics. The kilns at Jingdezhen continue to produce porcelain today—no other kiln complex can claim such a long and continuous history. Special thank you to Sally Yu Leung and Guangzhen Zhou for making this exhibition possible, and to Dr. William Ma, Assistant Professor, College of Art & Design, Louisiana State University, for his curatorial contributions.
