According to Chinanews.com.cn, the world's largest porcelain painting was exhibited at the "2009 China Jingdezhen International Ceramic Fair" in Jingdezhen.    

   The painter, Wan Zhijun, and tens of assistants spent more than two months creating the Largest porcelain painting .

   At 3.68 m long and 1.58 m high, the vitrolite painting attracted many visitors. It has a similar size to an English billiard table (3.56 m long and 1.78 m high) and weighs about 200 kg.

    Wan said he had engaged in ceramics for more than 30 years, adding that because he loved monkeys, the topic of the world's largest porcelain painting was also related to monkeys.

   A screen-like special base was added to the porcelain, and the front side portrays an "auspice of monkeys" – a waterfall splashing over the rocks, fat peaches weighing down the branches of the trees, and nine holy monkeys playing around branches.

   The back side is a greasepaint picture of eight horses galloping. According to its Chinese meaning, both sides signify "promotion right away."

   The weight of the porcelain painting display, including the base, reaches 1.5 tons.
