Dehua's "Jianbai" porcelain.

Dehua Porcelain West of Putian is Dehua County, where Dehua porcelain is produced. Known as one of the major porcelain capitals of China, Dehua's porcelain dates back to the Wei and Jin dynasties (220-420). During the Song Dynasty (960-1279) this industry reached its greatest prosperity, exporting products in large quantities.
Solid and smooth, Dehua porcelain is resistant to both heat and cold. One type of "Jianbai" porcelain in particular has a sparkle and lustre even more stunning than white jade. Its ivory-white colour and superb workmanship make it a favourite of art lovers.
