The Song of Qing Porcelain
A Tale of Art, Impermanence, and the Secrets of the Ming
In the quiet hours before dawn, when the city slumbered and the streets were empty, the porcelain makers of Jingdezhen would gather in the ancient kilns to tend the embers of the night before. It was said that the porcelain of Jingdezhen held a piece of the divine, for it was in this city that the ancient artisan's touch had been passed down through generations, infusing each piece with a spirit of its own.Among the most revered were the Qing pieces, crafted during the reign of the great emperor Qianlong, when the empire was at its most glorious.
