The Hutian kiln, located on the outskirts of Jingdezhen, is renowned for its exceptional Qingbai wares, having produced numerous masterpieces throughout the Song and Yuan periods. This porcelain, coated with a transparent glaze, is referred to as \"Yingqing\" due to the way the glaze pools, allowing the patterns to emerge like shadows.
