Making of Blue and White Chinese Porcelain
Temperature is the difference between ordinary pottery and porcelain, as noted in the UNESCO Courier in Oct 1988. Ordinary pottery is “baked in a kiln at temperatures rang, from 500 degrees C to 1150 degrees C, and is called earthenware”. Porcelain is an utterly different animal and that difference rests entirely in the temperature at which it is fired, around 1280. Between 1369-1644, the Mung Dynasty developed the best quality blue and white porcelain. Again, the Chinese artisans who created the highest level of blue and white porcelain did so through “certain specific temperatures, and in a reducing (de-oxidizing) flame”.
