Jingdezhen, located in Jiangxi province, China, has been the center of porcelain production for centuries, earning it the nickname "Porcelain Capital." The "rice grain" pattern, a delicate openwork technique where small holes are punched into the porcelain before firing and then filled with glaze, is a distinctive decorative style. This technique allows light to pass through, creating a subtle glow when a candle is placed inside or when the cup is filled with liquid.
