- Biscuit Porcelain - Biscuit porcelain refers to unglazed, white porcelain that has been fired at a high temperature to harden the material and make it suitable for painting or glazing. The term "biscuit" comes from the French word for "unbaked," referring to the fact that the porcelain has not yet been glazed. The porcelain's firing process is done at very high temperatures and requires good quality of kaolin which is one of the material used to make porcelain.

During the Ming Dynasty, China experienced a period of relative stability and prosperity. The government was centralized and bureaucratic, with the emperor at the top of the hierarchy.
