All the bowls remaining are porcelain in Dehua, which is also known as “the capital of porcelain”. The earliest bowl in the Dehua Ceramics Museum was one from the Tang Dynasty (618 – 907 AD), when white porcelain was most common. Later blue-and-white porcelain bowl emerged, and the technique reached its peak in the Qing Dynasty (1644 – 1911 AD).

In the Ming Dynasty (1368 – 1644 AD), most bowls adopted the decoration with floral pattern, which oriented from Changsha kilin in the Tang Dynasty and began to blossom in the Ming Dynasty. The most common used bowls were catering bowls with white ground and blue designs during this period. Qing porcelain bowls exceeded previous ones from every aspect, skillful craftwork, rich and varied in shape, glaze and designs. It takes one’s breath away to see tri-color porcelain, five-color porcelain and powder doped color decorated porcelain bowls for the exclusive use of the emperor.
