FAQ: Why Do Your Products Say 'Jingdezhen'?

You may wonder why our products reference Jingdezhen — here is the complete, transparent answer.

Where Our Pieces Are Made

The pieces in our collection are made by contemporary artisan studios in Jingdezhen, Jiangxi province — the world's porcelain capital. Jingdezhen offers the infrastructure (high-quality kaolin, professional kilns, dense community expertise) that makes serious reproduction and evolution of the Jian Zhan craft possible today.

What Matters Is Method, Not Just Geography

Just as a modern Italian artisan using a 'Venetian glass' technique in Milan is still making Venetian-style glass, a Jingdezhen studio practicing the traditional iron-clay technique is a legitimate continuation of the craft. The lineage is technique — iron clay, hand-throwing, reduction firing — which our studios practice faithfully.

Our Commitment to Honesty

We never claim our pieces are antiques — they are contemporary artisan works, made in Jingdezhen. Every certificate states the making studio honestly. If you're seeking original Song-era pieces, those live in museums and auction houses, not on our site. If you're seeking authentic, modern continuation of the craft, that is precisely what we offer.
