Jingdezhen is the most well-known city for Chinese porcelain.
Jingdezhen, also known as 'Jingde Town,' is China's well-known "porcelain capital." It is a prefecture-level city located about 400 kilometers (250 miles) west of Hangzhou, the ancient capital and "tea capital." In 1004, Emperor Jingde of the Song Dynasty (960-1279) named Jingdezhen after the fine bluish-white porcelain produced for the emperor.
