Blue and White Pottery is a type of ceramic ware known for its distinctive blue designs on a white background. This style originated in China during the Tang Dynasty (618-907 AD) and became popular during the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644). The blue color is typically created using cobalt oxide, which is painted onto the pottery before it is glazed and fired. The technique spread to other regions, including Europe and the Middle East, where artisans developed their own variations. Today, blue and white pottery is celebrated for its intricate patterns and historical significance, often used in decorative pieces and tableware.
