Editor's note: More than 400 pieces and sets of Dehua porcelain, also known in French as "Blanc de Chine," are on display at the National Museum of China in Beijing.

Located in Fujian province on the east coast of China, Dehua county is renowned for its centuries-old tradition of white porcelain production. Dehua ceramics were exported overseas as early as the Song dynasty (960-1279) and the Yuan dynasty (1271-1368). Today, the county remains one of China's largest producers and exporters of porcelain craftsmanship.
