We think of blue and white porcelain as the ultimate global
commodity: throughout East and Southeast Asia, the Indian Ocean
including the African coasts, the Americas and Europe, consumers
desired Chinese porcelains. Many of these were made in the kilns in
and surrounding Jingdezhen. Found in almost every part of the
world, Jingdezhen's porcelains had a far-reaching impact on global
consumption, which in turn shaped the local manufacturing
processes. The imperial kilns of Jingdezhen produced ceramics for
the court, while nearby private kilns manufactured for the global
market. In this beautifully illustrated study, Anne Gerritsen asks
how this kiln complex could manufacture such quality, quantity and
variety. She explores how objects tell the story of the past,
connecting texts with objects, objects with natural resources, and
skilled hands with the shapes and designs they produced. Through
the manufacture and consumption of Jingdezhen's porcelains, she
argues, China participated in the early modern world.
