In a unique fusion of cultures, the French National Olympic and Sports Committee has recently acquired four exquisite pieces of Chinese blue-and-white porcelain artwork.

A distinctive feature of blue-and-white porcelain is its elegant underglaze. The design incorporates some of the traditional Chinese ink-and-wash painting techniques, such as fading and tapering.

By 1710, the Chinese made at least four patterns of Chinese export porcelain that included landscape designs. Two of the most popular were Nanking (1770-1820) and Canton (1785- 1853).

Despite never traveling to Asia, James McNeill Whistler made muses of blue and white Chinese porcelain and helped shape a popular craze for them — dubbed Chinamania — in 1870s Western Europe.

Blue-and-white porcelain from the Yuan Dynasty (1271-1368) has been the most-sought porcelain by collectors public and private in the past decade, as no more than 400 pieces still exist in the world.
