Information
Chinese Biscuit Decorated Porcelain :
Chinese Biscuit Porcelain was decorated with enamel directly on the unglazed porcelain body and then covering with a clear glaze. Biscuit Porcelain was especially popular from the Transitional period of the middle of the 17th century until the second quarter of the 18th century. Egg and Spinach wares are part of this group, they are inspired by Tang Dynasty Sancai pottery of the 8th century.
