Porcelain & Ceramics

China has a long history of ceramic production dating back over 3,000 years. The most famous Chinese ceramic town is Shiwan. It accounts for approximately 40% of China's ceramic production and around 25% of the world's capacity.

Shiwan Ceramics, the world famous Chinese Ceramic Capital, is central to the production of collectables, delicate Chinese ceramic figurines, traditional Chinese ceramic sculptures, large ceramic statues and even ceramic tiles.

An historical perspective was expressed in this poetic appreciation of "Shiwan ceramic tile, Chinese ceramic sculpture, the best in the world". The surviving dragon kiln in Shiwan city symbolises the outstanding technique of Shiwan ceramics and Chinese pottery.

Most of the Ceramic Sculptures and Ceramic Figurines created there are being displayed in the national museum and acquired by collectors from all over the world. Shiwan Chinese Ceramic Figurines and Ceramic Sculptures are nowadays a popular theme for special gifts, Chinese art collectables and simply as beautiful items with which to enhance your home decor.
