In the Jiangzi Province factory town of Jingdezhen, expert potters - TopicsExpress

In the Jiangzi Province factory town of Jingdezhen, expert potters used local clay and imported Persian cobalt to create some of the Ming Dynasty’s most popular trade items. Traditional patterns such as the dragon-cloud motif in pottery were, in part, designed for export to the Arab world and, eventually, to Europe. When Vasco da Gama sailed for China in 1497, King Manuel I of Portugal instructed him to bring back two precious commodities: spices and porcelain. Two years later, da Gama returned, having lost half his men but holding a dozen pieces of chinaware. During the chaos following the Ming dynasty’s collapse exports to Europe were interrupted, spurring the production of Delftware, a blue-and-white Chinese-style porcelain made in Holland. history/news/history-lists/7-things-you-may-not-know-about-the-ming-dynasty
