Jingdezhen Porcelain. Jingdezhen's eggshell porcelain is precious in China's ceramic arts. This variety, thin as eggshell and transparent, calls for superb production techniques. In the past only small articles of this kind could be produced, now large vase as high as 74 cm and bowl with a diameter of 25.7 cm are available.
