| description | This study investigates the evolution of blue-and-white porcelain (BWP) as a vital medium of cultural exchange between China and Europe, focusing on its adaptation in Islamic regions, Portugal, and the Netherlands. Through an interdisciplinary approach that integrates art history, cultural theory, and material studies, the research examines the enduring influence of BWP on design aesthetics and practices over centuries. The study traces the historical development of BWP, underscoring its role in blending Eastern and Western design principles and its continued relevance as a source of inspiration for contemporary design. By framing BWP as more than a historical artefact, this research positions it as a lasting symbol of global cultural dialogue, capable of ongoing reinterpretation within modern design contexts. |
