1

Mixing the materials: The raw materials for mutton fat jade porcelain typically include kaolin clay, feldspar, and other minerals. These materials are mixed together in specific proportions to create a homogenous blend.

2

Shaping the porcelain: The blended materials are then shaped into the desired form, such as a tea cup or teapot, using techniques such as throwing, casting, or hand building.

3

Drying and firing: Once shaped, the porcelain is allowed to dry completely before being fired in a kiln at high temperatures. The first firing, known as the bisque firing, removes any remaining moisture from the porcelain and prepares it for glazing.

4

Glazing: After the bisque firing, the porcelain is dipped into a glaze mixture, which can contain various ingredients depending on the desired effect. The glaze is then allowed to dry before the porcelain is fired again at high temperatures to fuse the glaze to the surface of the porcelain.

5

Finishing: Once fired and cooled, the mutton fat jade porcelain can be polished, painted, or decorated with intricate designs using various techniques such as underglaze painting, overglaze enameling, or carving.

6

Final firing: Depending on the desired effect, the porcelain may undergo one or more final firings at lower temperatures to create a specific color or texture.
