Abstract
The National Art Museum of the Republic of Belarus has the largest collection of Chinese porcelain in the country, but there is clearly not enough information about most of the exhibits on display. Based on the study of porcelain collections in Chinese museums and the analysis of special literature, the article provides comprehensive information about the history and technique of making 66 pieces of Chinese porcelain that are constantly on display in the museum. This will help the museum’s research staff to give interested visitors a more complete understanding of the technology, origin and date of creation of Chinese porcelain from the museum’s collection.
