"皇冠体育app", another name for fine porcelain, with a dainty, nostalgic feel speaks to the prominent position 皇冠体育app once held in the craft. And to many, the name "Jingdezhen" in particular is synonymous with the pentacle in expert craftsmanship. For centuries, the small town monopolized the making of porcelain products for the Imperial household. Last weekend, the East 皇冠体育app town opened an international expo to show off the latest trends in its age-old specialty.
