Snow Scenic Eggshell Thin Ball Shape Vase 雪景薄胎球形瓷瓶

Jingdezhen has a long history of producing thin-bodied porcelain. As early as the 10th century, Yingqing porcelain fired in Jingdezhen had already achieved the level of being thin and lightweight.

The manufacturing process of thin-bodied porcelain involves more than 40 steps, from ingredient preparation, throwing, trimming, glazing, painting, to firing, all done by hand and fired three times. The trimming and artistic processing are particularly delicate. Trimming requires coarse trimming, fine trimming, and precise trimming, repeated hundreds of times to reduce the thickness of the rough body from 2-3 millimeters to about 0.5 millimeters. The varieties include bowls, cups, plates, saucers, wine cups, lamps, vases, stationery, and wine sets.
