Historic white porcelain on show

The white porcelain produced in Dehua, of Eastern Fujian province, is traditionally termed "blanc de chine" (French for "white from China") for featuring a milky or pale white glaze, smooth texture and elegant feel.

Some 70 refined Dehua white ceramics dated Ming (1368-1644) and Qing (1644-1911) dynasties are on show through July 12 at the Banxi Lou exhibition hall inside the Summer Palace.
