Boshan Ceramics
Basic Introduction to Boshan CeramicsBoshan has long been known as the "Porcelain Capital" and is one of China's five major ceramic production areas. Among Boshan Art Ceramics, the most famous is the "Raindrop Glaze," historically referred to as "oil drop." It is named for its appearance of luminous silver spots on a dark glaze surface. These spots are as small as grains of rice, resembling shining stars in the night sky from a distance, which led to the saying that "a foot-tall vase or an inch-deep bowl is considered an unparalleled treasure, while teacups and wine goblets are regarded as priceless rarities." Product FeaturesBoshan Art Ceramics come in a myriad of forms, both graceful and vivid, exquisitely delicate, evoking a lifelike feeling. The art of engraving porcelain is hailed as the essence of Eastern art and a unique specialty of China. With simple hammers and chisels, artisans create breathtaking works on porcelain plates. Many of these engravings have been designated as national gifts presented by Chinese leaders to foreign heads of state as high-end gifts. Exquisite black pottery artworks, inheriting the traditions of Dawenkou Culture and Longshan Culture, are characterized by their "paper-thinness, lacquer-brightness, and bell-like resonance."
