Jingdezhen Blue-and-White Porcelain, renowned as the "Gem of Ceramics", involves six essential crafting stages:
1. Material Selection & Body Shaping - Premium kaolin clay is processed through levigation, sedimentation, and kneading to form delicate bisque;
2. Pattern Design - Artisans outline motifs with specialized cobalt pigment brushes on the unfired body;
3. Gradient Coloring - Applying "five-tone differentiation" technique to create ink-wash painting effects through varied cobalt concentrations;
4. Glaze Application - Evenly coating transparent glaze to form vitreous protective layer;
5. High-Firing Process - Single firing at over 1300°C in reduction atmosphere;
6. Quality Inspection - Rigorous examination of glaze luster, decorative patterns, and form integrity to ensure its "jade-like white, mirror-like bright, paper-like thin, and chime-like resonant" signature quality.
The distinctive underglaze cobalt blue decoration becomes permanently fused beneath the glaze layer through this process, maintaining chromatic stability for millennia.
