Rice porcelain is characterized by translucent patterns resembling rice grains. The vessels are blue and white with a dragon motif, which in Chinese culture is a symbol of strength, happiness, and prosperity. Rice porcelain is a traditional Chinese decoration technique in which small holes are created in the raw vessel before firing and then glazed. During a subsequent high-temperature firing, the glaze fills the holes, creating characteristic, transparent "windows" in the shape of rice grains. The set consists of plates, bowls, soup spoons, and saucers, typical of Chinese tableware. The photos are part of the description. The porcelain will be carefully packaged and shipped in an insured package.
