Specialist note

Porcelain clay material in the hands of artists is an all-powerful tool. As it can imitate metal, paint, wood, and jade, without reference to the porcelain itself. Porcelain is known for its softness, fluidity, brittleness and durability. When porcelain clay is glazed and fired, its beauty will exist forever. In fact, porcelain is the equivalent of rough jade boulders from the Kunlun mountains. Its language is expressed through its white colour, and its delicate, soft texture. Thus this vessel is called 'Jade from Kungang'.
