Jingdezhen porcelain is Chinese porcelain produced in Jingdezhen in southern China.
Jingdezhen produced pottery as early as the sixth century CE, though it is named after the reign name of Emperor Zhenzong, in whose reign it became a major kiln site, around 1004.
By the 14th century it had become the largest centre of production of Chinese porcelain, which it has remained, increasing its dominance in subsequent centuries.
From the Ming Dynasty onwards, official kilns in Jingdezhen were controlled by the emperor, making imperial porcelain in large quantity for the court and the emperor to give as gifts.
The Laughing Buddha is a symbol of happiness, contentment and prosperity.
He is called 'Budai' in Chinese.
It is believed that if one rubs the belly of Buddha, it brings good luck and wealth.
