青花瓷(英语:blue-and-white porcelain[1])是源于中国、遍行世界的一种白地蓝花的高温釉下彩瓷器[2],常简称青花(blue-and-white[1]),也用来指代该装饰工艺。该品种清新明快,质朴大方,不仅是工业化之前影响最广的瓷器[1],还被视为中华民族审美理念的代表。Blue and white wares" (Chinese: 青花; pinyin: qīng-huā; literally "Blue flowers") designate white pottery and porcelain decorated under the glaze with a blue pigment, generally cobalt oxide. The decoration is commonly applied by hand, by stencilling or by transfer-printing, though other methods of application have also been used.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_and_white_porcelain
