Maris Boyd Gillette's groundbreaking study tells the story of
Jingdezhen, China's porcelain capital, from its origins in 1004 in
Song dynasty China to the present day. Gillette explores how
Jingdezhen has been affected by state involvement in porcelain
production, particularly during the long 20th century. She
considers how the Chinese government has consumed, invested in,
taxed and managed the local ceramics industry, and the effects of
this state intervention on ceramists' lives, their local
environment and the nature of the goods they produce. Gillette
traces how Jingdezhen experienced the transition from imperial rule
to state ownership under communism, the changing fortunes of the
ceramics industry in the early 21st century, the decay and decline
that accompanied privatisation, and a revival brought about by an
entrepreneurial culture focusing on the manufacture of
highly-prized 'art porcelain'.
