Is Chinese or Japanese porcelain better?

The porcelain manufacturing industry in Greater China, like other industries, does not lag behind in the technical level of porcelain making, and is even at the world's leading level in some aspects. However, the brand awareness is not strong, and many manufacturers have become foundries of European, American, Japanese and Korean enterprises. When it comes to Japanese porcelain being more refined, most people seem to be like this, Japanese companies are known for their strictness, and many manufacturers are reluctant to cooperate with Japanese companies.

The reason is that the standardization requirements of Japanese porcelain are very strict, and strict standardization is a very big challenge to technology, raw materials, management, etc., ceramics are different from other industries, and they are not perfect in the last fire, and the shrinkage of raw materials is inevitable. In addition, when it comes to design, this is a common problem in China at this stage, and the design level is backward. In addition, the unfamiliarity with Japanese porcelain makes it easy for us to have a solidified impression of Japanese design, and some of these porcelain with obvious Japanese style are used as representatives of Japanese porcelain.

Finally, the domestic ceramic industry is still relatively chaotic, and the low-end occupies the main market. As a result, the quality of domestic porcelain is generally not good enough. Although we often use it, there are not many consumers who understand the inherent quality of porcelain, and most of them judge the quality from the design, of course, design is also a very important part.

If you are interested in understanding porcelain, it is recommended to go to the porcelain expo to take a turn, each porcelain fair will attract a lot of foreign artists, brands, through the comparison of feelings can have a more comprehensive observation.

Chinese are proud of ancient porcelain, Jingdezhen is famous, but there is no porcelain brand that can make an impression. Is there any good porcelain in Jingdezhen? Yes.

Several famous contemporary kilns in Jingdezhen, especially Xiaoya, can be compared with Meissen or high-end Japanese porcelain, perhaps even higher. The problem is that it is too expensive, a hand-painted teacup for a few thousand yuan is already cheap, this is not to make civilian porcelain, this is to enter the rhythm of the museum. Western porcelain and Japanese porcelain are still based on the fact that ordinary people can afford and buy them, so that porcelain can enter ordinary people's homes and effectively improve the quality of life.

When people think of Western porcelain, they think of brands such as Meissen, Wedgwood and Herend. The production areas of porcelain in Japan are all called "ware", and the main ones that have the greatest output and influence are Mino ware, Arita ware, Hasaami ware, and Kutani ware. Compared with the West, Japanese porcelain is still backward, and the backwardness lies in the fact that it is still entangled with origins, brands, and designers.

In this way, it is easy for everyone to understand, what is the problem in Jingdezhen? Everyone only remembers the place of origin, and they don't know what brands Jingdezhen has at all (they know that Xiaoya and the like are very few players), let alone designers.

In fact, many of the porcelain labels with Japanese labels are made in China. Japan is better than China in daily-use porcelain, but it cannot be said to surpass China in art porcelain.

After more than 100 years of competition, it finally ended with the victory of Chinese porcelain. The problems exposed in the competition between China and Japan are also worth pondering today. In this sense, the topic has both historical and practical value.

The problem with Chinese porcelain is not technology, but business management and branding, which is what the Japanese are best at.

Before, of course, it was China. At present, South Korea and Japan occupy the European market.

Chinese porcelain is infinitely brilliant! Little Japanese students only!

This so-called Jun porcelain can no longer see the beauty of the kiln change of Jun porcelain at sunset.

How many Japanese porcelains are there in Japanese museums? Which do you think is better?

Saga、Aichi Prefecture, Gifu Prefecture.

Arita ware in Saga Prefecture is world-famous, and it is also the place where porcelain clay was first discovered in Japan, and it has been firing since the 16th century.

Seto-yaki from Aichi Prefecture Seto-yaki produced in Seto-yaki in Aichi Prefecture has a longer history than Arita-yaki, with a history of 1,000 years, and is one of the six oldest kilns in Japan. In other regions, when plain-fired pottery without glaze was still being produced, the ceramicists here already knew how to use glaze to fire porcelain with high hardness.

Gifu Prefecture Mino ware is produced in Gifu Tajimi and Toki and other places adjacent to Seto, and it is the place where the most ceramics are produced today. In addition to the abundance of clay in the area, the Seto potters moved to Mino to escape the war, and later developed into a cultural representative of the Totosanyama period in Japan.

Naritaki is a well-known Bizen ware brand.
