A PATTERN OF DEDICATION

Decorated with cobalt blue pigment on a white ceramic body, qinghuaci ware is one of the most well-known cultural products in China, with items made in Jingdezhen, Jiangxi province, considered the best in quality.

With a tradition of making ceramics dating back more than 2,000 years, Jingdezhen is known as the country's "porcelain capital", attracting artists from home and abroad to revive and reinterpret the traditional craft with a contemporary twist.

"Ceramics embrace change. I'm here to inherit the tradition in an innovative way and create my own works," Cai Wenjuan, a 36-year-old craftswoman, says.
