What is the historical significance of blue and white in ceramics?
1 Answer
In China, the art of making white porcelain with local kaolin produced attractive pieces with a luxe white finish. When they learned that cobalt oxide was the only pigment that could withstand the high firing temperatures of porcelain, a new type of ceramic entered the market. Blue and white porcelain first appeared in the 14th century in China. This technique worked its way across the globe.
