Jingdezhen Ceramic Ge Kiln Style Chinese Ink Painting Coaster

This coaster is made using the imitation Ge kiln technique, featuring "ice crack" patterns on the surface that resemble cracked ice. It is praised for having the "character of Ge kiln, with ice cracks being the finest." Due to its unique cracking during firing, it displays an unintended natural beauty. Painting on porcelain, unlike on paper, requires attention to both the overall design and the contours of the surface, making it a true test of the artist's skill. The piece is then completed through a series of processes, including glazing and firing.
