Artist dedicates her life to Dehua porcelain

The numerous Dehua porcelain factories today make figures and tableware in modern styles. Chen started learning her craft at 15 years old. Now she has become an award-winning artist, creating an original style of her own.

In her mind, making porcelain wares is like paper-cutting on the argil, which calls for precision and superb skills. After working for 40 years, now Chen hopes her son, a university graduate in sculpture, will carry on the family tradition and introduce white porcelain to people outside China.
