Why was Chinese Kangxi porcelain popular?
1 Answer
Chinese Kangxi porcelain was popular because of its particular blue colorings. The blue was made using cobalt ore which was imported from Persia. As cobalt ore was a scarce ingredient, the rarity made the porcelain items highly sought after. Shop a collection of Chinese Kangxi porcelain from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
