Blue Ceramics

Blue ceramics is a term encompassing a style of ceramics that uses bright blue and blue-white colors. This style is especially popular in traditional Chinese and Portuguese ceramics, but has also become known in other cultures. Glaze-covered pieces are often adorned with intricate patterns, including flowers, animals, and geometric elements.

Blue ceramics were typically produced using specific firing techniques, which gave them their unique luster. A striking example is the famous Chinese 'dodji' or Portuguese 'azulejo', which evoke admiration for their beauty and craftsmanship.

Interesting fact: in the 16th century, European craftsmen, inspired by Eastern ceramics, began creating their own versions, giving rise to a style popular to this day.
