Dehua porcelain - "blanc de Chine", as it was called by collectors in Europe - is pure white porcelain made in the Dehua kilns of Fujian province, China. Mostly shaped into figures and groups, these ceramics were internationally popular in the 17th century, inspiring aristocrats to amass huge collections. This book documents the important collection of Frank and Pamela Hickley, comprising over 160 pieces, donated to the Asian Civilisations Museum, Singapore, in 2000.
