Blue and white porcelain is a remarkable treasure of Chinese civilisation, with a history spanning thousands of years. Its designs merge traditional Chinese cultural elements—such as pine, bamboo, plum blossoms, and landscape paintings— with Islamic geometric patterns and European heraldry. This illustrates that blue and white porcelain not only embodies Eastern aesthetics but also serves as a testament to the fusion of Chinese and Western cultures.
GuWei Museum and WeMakeGift cordially invite art enthusiasts to participate in this creative competition. Drawing inspiration from classical blue and white porcelain art, participants will design unique patterns on blank teapot templates provided. Show your creativity and celebrate heritage!
