Jack said: "The Max family also has some porcelain factories, and I know about daily porcelain, which is only one in Japan, and there is also the United Kingdom. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoThe UK accounts for a quarter of the production of porcelain in Europe, and the initial production of bone china is in the UK. Our bone china is expensive, with its famous brands of Royal Dalton and Whitgwood fetching £3,000 for a set of around 20 pieces of cutlery, and the products are also breathtaking. ”

"This is followed by Germany, which accounts for a quarter of Europe's porcelain production, with a turnover of 1 billion euros last year, and sanitary porcelain with the United Kingdom and Spain accounting for one-third of Europe. The quality of the cremation china they produce is very good, and although the price is high, it is competitive in the market and sells well. The memorial coffee cup is 14.80 marks per piece, the memorial china medium cup and saucer is 23.9 marks, the 15-head tea set is 1098 marks, and the 25 cm tall sculptural figure is 2697 marks, which is 1625 US dollars, and the price is surprisingly high. ”

"After the French porcelain in Europe in terms of output ranked Britain, Germany and Italy, its famous world brands are: Hermes, Christofle, Ardaud, Tajo, etc. Selim is a company specializing in the production of ceramic equipment, and the ceramic equipment produced by the company is so advanced that even the British Royal Porcelain Factory uses the ceramic equipment produced by the company. An isostatic molding machine costs $250,000 and can produce 130 products per hour. ”

"Finally, Italy is also a first-class power in the world today, its daily porcelain production accounts for a quarter of Europe, architectural porcelain production accounts for about 50% of Europe's total output, and sanitary porcelain production is close to one-third of Europe."

Jack solemnly admonished: "I don't know what your plans are, but if you want to rely on daily porcelain and industrial porcelain to open up the European market?" I suggest you give up early! ”

"It is worthy of being born in a big family, and even porcelain is like a few treasures, admire and admire!"

Wu Tianyuan couldn't help but applaud and said with a smile: "Of course I know the embarrassing situation of China's porcelain now, it was originally the ancestor of porcelain, but now there is no high-end brand that can be internationally recognized!" I'm ashamed to say it, so I'm ready to revitalize the national brand, but not in daily porcelain and industrial porcelain, but in art porcelain! ”

"Oh? Art porcelain? Jack's eyes lit up and he said excitedly: "Could it be the five famous kilns?" ”

"Pretty much, my next step is to try to reproduce many lost porcelain varieties in ancient times in China, and increase production under the premise of ensuring quality, and strive to mass produce them."

"Great! If it succeeds, then God will be shocked! ”

Wu Tianyuan didn't say much, there are no results yet, and everything he says is false. When there are results, they will enter the European high-end porcelain market through the channels of the Max family and establish their own brands.

I still admire the little Japanese Wu Tianyuan, and their rigorous and pragmatic attitude has made porcelain very popular in Europe. The shape of Japanese export porcelain is similar to that of Chinese porcelain, but it obviously has a Japanese flavor, and the biggest difference with Chinese porcelain is that the color of the Japanese porcelain pattern and the picture is very beautiful and bright, often red and green, black and white, or outlined with gold thread, and the edge of its teacups, wine cups, bowls, saucers and other daily porcelain is also mostly glazed with gold, which is very exquisite.

In the 80s of the 17th century, a Japanese family named Kakiemon developed a milky white turbid porcelain, with white as the background color, with a luxurious gold-inlaid style, which was sought after by European princes and nobles. For a time, collecting Japanese porcelain became fashionable in Europe. Today, there are large quantities of Japanese porcelain from this period in the royal collections and national museums of Europe.

Taking the bowl as an example, there are many variations in the shape of the bowl mouth in Japanese daily porcelain: straight mouth, extravagant mouth, conjunctive mouth, chrysanthemum mouth, rhombic flower mouth, pressed edge pattern, table mouth hexagon, octagonal and so on. Taking the pot as an example, the curvature of the pot is deep and shallow, with folded edges, flat edges, and flower-shaped mouth edges.

In general, family sets come in a set of five, but there are also one-person and two-person combinations. The outer packaging is even more exquisite. Taking the bowl as an example, the manufacturer deliberately carefully makes a matching wooden box, and each bowl is divided into containers to avoid damage during transportation, which is easy to carry, easy for consumers to buy and collect, and convenient for gifting to friends as a high-end gift.

If you go to any Japanese restaurant, you'll find that the utensils are very particular about the tableware, even in a small noodle restaurant. Even low-income families in Japan have a decent collection of porcelain, and whenever they have a treat, they will be entertained with a set of utensils.

Those families with good economic conditions collect several sets of good porcelain and pay attention to the use of porcelain. On the occasion of festivals and wedding gifts, the young people of the company will gather their money to carefully select a set for the newlyweds as a permanent memorial.

Along with the flower arrangement and tea ceremony, going to a famous kiln to burn porcelain has become one of the leisure ways for Japanese people. Some housewives are willing to pay a lot of money to participate in porcelain training classes and design and make porcelain at home by themselves, and this lifestyle is also increasingly sought after by young Japanese.

This is also the reason why Wu Tianyuan vigorously cultivated the Liu family, Liu Huasheng mainly focused on tea ceremony, and Liu Meizi studied ikebana and incense, both of which are the most high-end art categories in Japan. Once you have status, it's a living signboard in itself.

Japanese porcelain and art porcelain are also often used as gifts for high-ranking government officials, and when it comes to European royal weddings, Japanese porcelain is a must-have on the Japanese government's gift list.

In May 2010, the National Museum of Ceramics of Spain showcased the work of Japanese ceramic artist Kazuhiro Mimoto, the best inheritor of modern Imari kilns in Japan, and the Japanese ambassador to Spain personally presided over the opening ceremony of the exhibition of Ichiyo Mimoto.

The National Museum of Ceramics of Spain is a world-renowned top porcelain art museum, where you can see a few surviving ceramic works of the master Picasso, and you can also see the fine porcelain of the Ming and Qing dynasties in China, but you can't find a piece of modern Chinese porcelain, it's a shame!
