Different from traditional ways for blue and white porcelain painting, Luo Xiaocong, professor at Jingdezhen Ceramic University, east China's Jiangxi Province, created a craft known as "Tiqing".

The craft of "blue pigment shaving" draws inspiration from skills used in woodblock and lacquer paintings. Only by using a razor blade, Luo could shave off parts of the pigment to form designed patterns.

The challenge lies in that it shaves liquid materials rather than solid ones which requires more skills and patience.

After more than 20 years of trying, Luo Xiaocong can now create different patterns according to the thickness of the pigment by only using a razor blade and a graver.
