An 18th century Chinese export porcelain bowl, circa 1760.
Chinese export porcelain refers to ceramics produced in China primarily for foreign markets from the late Ming dynasty through the Qing period. Made in kilns such as Jingdezhen, these wares were tailored to European, Islamic, and Southeast Asian tastes. Designs often combined traditional Chinese motifs with foreign coats of arms, shapes, and inscriptions.
Export porcelain played a major role in global trade, travelling along maritime routes to Europe and beyond. Highly prized for its quality, durability, and beauty, it influenced Western ceramic industries and shaped cross-cultural artistic exchange. Collectors today value these objects as historical evidence of early globalisation processes.
