Bowl with long inscription
Dehua wares of the period AD 1600–1911 are typified by figures and vessels with a granular sugary white body and either a blue tinged or creamy white glaze. The pure whiteness of these ceramics is due to the relative absence of iron impurities in the body - indeed the clay used contains only half a percent of ferric oxide. Plain white porcelains from the Dehua kilns in Fujian, south-eastern China are known in the West by the nineteenth-century French connoisseurs’ term Blanc de Chine.

长铭文钵
1600年至1911年間的德化窰瓷器,以塑像和器皿為特色,胎體潔白有粉沙感,釉色閃青或呈乳白色。瓷胎中的鐵雜質極少,使得器物呈色白淨,事實上德化窯所使用胎土中的氧化鐵含量僅有0.5%。胎釉在窯火中完美地熔融結合在一起。中國東南部福建德化窯生產的素白瓷,以十九世紀法國鑒賞家所用的“中國白”一詞而聞名西方。
