Flourishing during the Ming and Qing Dynasties, it is famous for producing white porcelain, commonly referred to as "white Goryeo." The surface of the ware is semi-translucent, evoking the appearance of white jade. A variety of teapots, water pitchers, and tea sets were also produced in abundance. Dehua white porcelain is characterized by its pure, transparent white color, achieved due to the low iron content in the clay used, and is known in France as "Chinese white."
