The Jade-like Purity: The Sublime Beauty of Dehua Blanc de Chine

In the brilliant constellation of Chinese ceramics, Dehua Blanc de Chine stands out with its unique “Chinese White.” It doesn’t rely on dazzling colors but wins hearts with its elegant and warm texture. Dehua porcelain represents an Oriental aesthetic of “the utmost simplicity.”

Holding a Dehua white porcelain teacup, the first thing you feel is its jade-like texture. The body is solid, the glaze is crystalline, and it presents a warm, creamy white hue under light, as if glowing from within. This white is not a cold pallor, but like mutton-fat jade—fine, smooth, and warm to the touch. Through masterful skill, artisans refine the clay to its extreme, creating pieces that are delicately thin yet feel substantial. Classic Dehua sculptures, such as those of Bodhidharma or Guanyin, feature flowing robes and smooth lines, with every fold full of dynamism and spirit, perfectly merging the purity of the material with the vitality of art. In our collection, you can see the continuation of this tradition. A simple, plain white vase, relying solely on its elegant silhouette and jade-like quality, can become the focal point of a space, offering a moment of tranquility and purity amidst the bustle of daily life.
