In Dehua, the history of porcelain can be read in a hillside kiln. The Taiping Gong Kiln carries a long wood-firing tradition, continued through the knowledge and care of its makers.
A wood firing is shaped by flame, ash, placement, and the conditions of a particular firing. Those differences belong to the work. A specific edition’s process and firing schedule are described on its collection or product page.
Dehua is also the home of the white porcelain known internationally as blanc de Chine. Its quiet surfaces make form, light, and the smallest gesture of modelling visible.
