Characteristic.
    Linglong means clear and thorough. Linglong porcelain belongs to a type of engraved pattern. Xu Zhiheng: "Yinliu Zhai Talks about Porcelain" records: "Plain porcelain is very thin, and those with carved patterns that reflect blue are called shadow blue carved patterns, while those with holes on both sides are called exquisite porcelain.
    The production method is to first carve millet holes on the green body according to the pattern design, so that the two walls of the holes are transparent, like small windows; Then apply a specially made transparent glaze, just like window paper; Apply glaze throughout the body. After roasting, the engraved areas are clear and transparent, but without any holes or leaks.
    This type of translucent rice grain shaped hole is called a "rice flower"; In Japan, it is called "Mito" or "Firefly Hand". Some furnishings, such as Loong Boat and vase, do not paste glaze on the hollowed out part, which is also called Linglong. The Hongzhou kiln in the Tang Dynasty had already produced Linglong porcelain; During the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty, Jingdezhen kiln already had Linglong products. During the Longqing and Wanli periods, Linglong porcelain was popular for a while. During the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, the imperial kiln factory also imitated and burned. The main utensils include Linglong stove, Linglong lid bowl, Linglong pen holder, and Linglong incense box.
    Linglong porcelain products are not only used for daily necessities such as Chinese and Western tableware, tea sets, coffee utensils, and stationery, but also refined into various vases, lighting fixtures, and other display porcelain.
