Blue and white porcelain, or Qing Hua Ci (青花瓷), is the most widespread porcelain, and China's most famous china.

White porcelain is decorated with a blue pigment underglaze, usually cobalt oxide. This artform has been produced for over 1,000 years.

Year 8 Chinese students designed the 'Chinese blue and white plates' in class, these beautiful plates are displayed in the G6 Chinese classroom.
