Qing Period
With the Qing period, designs became more varied, combined folk and Imperial styles, and Jingdezhen ware became famous around the world. Export were hampered after the French jesuit François Xavier d'Entrecolles visited Jingdezhen and wrote to Europe about its manufacturing secret between 1712 and 1720. From that point, European countries would start to rival Chinese porcelain productions, initially by imitating Chinese styles, and later by developing their own original artistic patterns.
