Put out the good China

I never gave much thought to why people would refer to their dishes as China. I didn’t make a connection between the ceramic dishes and the country of their namesake. That is until I found myself in Shanghai, China. The Chinese perfected the art of making porcelain and the Shanghai Museum is home to a huge collection of the most amazing collection of ceramics. They are so beautiful, well crafted and also capture so much history. Different styles were created during different dynasties and the Emperors even had their own kilns creating ceramics just for their households. It was totally random but I really enjoyed diving into Chinese history through ceramics.
