Product Description

High quality playing cards from China with pictures / information on each card and standard numbers / suits.

This set features images and descriptions of the Imperial Palaces' Ceramics Collection. The history of ceramics in China, which has long been reputed as the Kingdom of Porcelain, dates back 8,000 years to the Neolithic Age. The earliest porcelain appeared in the middle of the Shang Dynasty more than 3,000 years ago. Chinese Porcelain wares have been sold abroad since the Tang Dynasty (618-907). With extraordinary creativity, Chinese people developed single-coloured porcelain into ceramics with multiple colours. There are more than 340,000 pieces of porcelain wares housed in the Imperial Palace, which help people to have a systematic understanding of the history of ceramics in China. Among them, those produced by governmental kilns of the Song, Ming and Qing Dynasties are the most precious in the world.

This series of playing cards display 55 pieces of rare porcelain wares worthy of appreciating.
