Chinese porcelain
Fine Asian dishware
Chinese porcelain is fine ceramic ware originating from China, historically prized for its translucency, strength, and decorative artistry.
China pioneered porcelain production centuries before European manufacturers discovered the technique.
The term often refers specifically to antique or traditional pieces: a collection of Chinese porcelain, Ming dynasty Chinese porcelain.
