Abstract
This research investigates the aesthetic commonalities between the East and West in art and design. It discloses fundamental similarities by employing expert interviews and thematic analysis with blue-and-white porcelain (BWP) as an exemplar. The findings reveal that, notwithstanding historical disparities, both traditions share values in aesthetic philosophy, symbolic representation, and form-function integration, with BWP serving as a paradigmatic cultural bridge. This study advances cross-cultural aesthetic comprehension and underlines its significance in fostering innovation.
