Chinese porcelain dates back to the Han Dynasty between 100 and 200 A.D. It became a part of every day life in China and was used for many purposes. There were different types of porcelain for royalty, Chinese officials, and commoners. The familiar blue and white porcelain became popular during the Ming Dynasty and most production took place in Jingdezhen, which is still known as the porcelain capital of the world.
