On our trip to Jingdezhen, the birthplace of porcelain, we got to see many talented artisans at work. This particular visit was at a ceramic factory. Each worker works a different part of the process.

So cool!
That was top notch How it’s Made quality!
Nice video Ford. You don’t think about all the work that goes into something like that and the recycling of excess clay to start all over again. I found it interesting.
So true. It’s pretty amazing to actually see the process. I’m glad you enjoyed the video!
I enjoyed watching the process of creating those dishes and think it’s really cool when others are happy to share that knowledge! How neat! They seem to be very efficient and conscientious of waste! My favorite kind of documentary is one I’m not bored watching. That was very enlightening, interesting, and enjoyable to watch!!!
Thanks, I’m glad you liked the video. It was really neat to see. We actually bought a few rice bowls while we were there!
This is good work. You could have your own travel show like Rick Steves
Thanks!
Fascinating-
Great video, clear and entertaining.
Thanks!
that ‘special’ bowl. been in production for decades now… you have one yet?
For centuries, not decades. The design goes back to the Ming Dynasty era, so five hundred years or more.
@Bernard Finucane wow!!!!!!!!!
I have one of these bowls 🙂
🙂
I have this rice pattern crockery and trying to find additional items. Would anyone know who the exporter in Jingdezhen is? Tq
You’ll have to be quick. The last factory making these said that they’ll close down as soon as they can’t find people to come and work (apparently, it is a skill that has to be acquired with time and patience), or when somebody buys the machines. But don’t worry, the world is still sitting on warehouses of this stuff.
super interesting thank you!
Very interesting 👍🏻☺️ Thank you
You’re welcome! I’m glad you liked it
Wow!!! I have tea cups exactly like this!!!! Maybe it was from this very factory…? 🤔
They been doing this since ancient time ~
Different millennia different tools still similar professionalism .
Good day everyone out here , I was wondering if u could help me to know how much does it cost to set up the plate and cup industry. ?

This is so cool
Beautiful craftsmanship. Can I know if there is a web store where I can buy these porcelain?
