    First broadcast: 11 Oct 2011.
    In November 2010, a Chinese vase unearthed in a suburban semi in Pinner sold at auction for £43 million - a new record for a Chinese work of art. Why are Chinese vases so famous and so expensive? The answer lies in the European obsession with Chinese porcelain that began in the 16th century.
    In this documentary Lars Tharp, the Antiques Roadshow expert and Chinese ceramics specialist, sets out to explore why Chinese porcelain was so valuable then - and still is now. He goes on a journey to parts of China closed to Western eyes until relatively recently. Lars travels to the mountainside from which virtually every single Chinese export vase, plate and cup began life in the 18th century - a mountain known as Mount Gaolin, from whose name we get the word kaolin, or china clay. He sees how the china clay was fused with another substance, mica, that would turn it into porcelain.

    I am addicted to blue and white things. Fabrics, China, art, etc. I am sitting in a room with blue and white around me....delicious, meditative and as sedative as the clouds in a blue sky or the white caps on a blue sea....

    I inherited a rather large collection of Chinese porcelain spanning nearly a thousand years of Chinese history, from the early porcelain of the Shang to the more elaborate Ming dynasty. Not even poverty could bring me to part with them.

      All these pieces are incredibly gorgeous, no doubt. I'm sure you can find copies of patterns on pieces that are much more budget friendly.. or you could do what i did, attended a class in painting bisque ( thats like a class where you have a go in painting pottery before its second firing) have a pattern or design in mind, apply it to your chosen item .. i used a lead pencil for the outlines and voila, you have something even better than you'd see anywhere cos you designed and created it and it will be wonderful❤️❤️❤️

      It's fine to feel proud of Chinese heritage but I always tell myself these are the works of our ancient ancestors. Not mine or ours to boast. If we want to be proud of our own community or country it depends on what we do now. It's not healthy for Chinese to keep living in past glory. Throughout Chinese history many dynasties had fallen due to people being complacent or conceited.

    Why aren't you honest and say that the best pieces were stolen from China .
    Also you need to explain where the word porcelain comes from and therefore talk about Marco Polo who was the first to introduce porcelain to Europe thanks to trade with arabs and not at all with China . You need to also explain that the word porcelain(not China) is italian in origin, coming from the word porccelino , which means little pig, but in that case is the name of a seashell as the Italians who first saw porcelain thought that it looked and felt like the seashell they call Porccelino di mare , or Little pig from the sea .
    You also forget to mention that the blue and white design is not Chinese at all but Arabic as the pigment chinese used was imported from Iran where it had been used for centuries and even the Chinese referred to it as Muhammad Blue . You don't even talk about why Porcelain from Jingdezhen became popular during the Sung dynasty rather than celadon , which was WAY more favored by th Ming's emperors .
    You are deliberately forgetting A LOT of facts in your documentary . Making it about England and Europe when actually , Europe was the last market to ever discover porcelain, Arabs (well of of the middle east, even Egyptians) , Indians, Japaneses, Koreans, all knew Chinese porcelain long before europe discovered it . and if it wasn't for the Italians, the Brits would have never found out about it .
    Dam,n if you are going to make a documentary, do your freaking homework . England or Britain is the smallest market of porcelain and was for centuries, the chinese couldn't give less of a damn about that small island .

    As always, the importance of the spanish trade is
    meticulously neglected. The first masive imports to Europe were made through the Philipines Galleon, from China to the Philipines, from there to the Viceroyalty of New Spain (México) an from there to Seville. Felipe II had a wonderful colection of porcelain in Madrid´s Alcázar, and they were usually portrayed in his paintings colection. This objects were usually given to his austrian nephews and cousins, and his better pieces were inherited by his daugther, Infanta Isabel Clara Eugenia, who installed them in many of her palaces in Netherlands when she was commanded as Sovereing Archduchess there. Thus was the way porcelain gained such a prestige all over Europe.

    The importance of China (porcelain) continues into the 21st century. Spacecraft heat sheilds, derived from porcelain is critical for the survival of cosmonauts during the fiery re-enetry into Earth's atmosphere.
    CPU heat shields at the base on computers are also made of porcelain. Otherwise, the very high heat generated by CPUs would burn through the plastic casing of laptops, etc. in no time.

      In my opinion the gold really ruined the art work, it doesn't match
