Those Famous Blue Chinese Bowls Come From This Town

- These bowls, called linglong (玲珑) porcelain, used to be everywhere in the West. And they all come from this one town in China.
We visited one of the last factories that still makes this style of blue and white porcelain, and deciphered the symbols that cover the bowl.

My hometown is just a 3 hour drive from his town. I had a friend who went to the town to learn how to make porcelain
Wow, $0.30 per bowl? Even at wholesale that seems awfully low for the kind of labor and skills involved to make one.
Bitch he makes 12,000 bowls per day. 12,000*$0.30=$3600/day
SupLeon you’re so rude :((
@@leoncraftmc 😂😂😂😂😂
@@leoncraftmc you dont have to be rude for that.. go and say that word to your mother who worked hard to pay off for the stuff that you wanted..
SupLeon that's not alot of money for 12,000 pieces of anything put together by hand....=(
Amazing video, my grandma always uses this bowl but never knew the story behind it! Hope it doesn't get lost in history!
It will and hope he lives to 100 years old to run this factory.
Nah your grandma is mostly not these hand made one mostly the mechanized one
@@stvdmc2011This is already heavily mechanized.
I bought a bunch of these bowls years ago in Seattle’s I district and will now treasure them more.
3:05 that sad resigned laugh 🙁
I have loved these bowls so much since I was growing up. I hope the factory keeps going!
Oh damn, seen these bowls so much but I didn't even know the backstory behind em
Thank you for making this program. I love these bowls and Liu Zongkuan is right: they aren't making them like they used to. Recent bowls look like they are stencilled or sprayed with the designs instead of being stamped. The blues are more intense, but there is less variation and the pieces look less dynamic. I'm not rich and I eat from these every day. When they stop making them entirely, I won't be able to afford "antique" LingLong porcelain. I've always loved the bats and the little cabbage leaves on the outside of the base.
My Asian household has so much of these plates 😂😅
I have these bowls and rose family to.
Amazing peaces of ART.
I remember these from when I was little. It’s so sad that they might not have it anymore in the future.
I guess I should starting buying a bunch of these before theyre gone 😭
I have 2 of them
Yes, that's what I am thinking too. I have many of the big soup bowls only. Will buy rice bowl too next day.
dont listen to the video. buy the lonquan celadon.
They will be around for hundreds of years before they are gone. Every family in Hong Kong and China has like 20 of them.
Stash them away for 50 years, then your grand kids can sell them for $10K as antiques.
Never let ur own traditions fade regardless of where ever you are born !
Cool!!! Don’t lose this tradition of bowl making.
I hope to be able to learn this! I love this type of practical art!
Woooowww this is amazing! We've got these at home but it never occurred to me to research about them. All I remember was my mum saying we had to be very careful when using so we didn't break them. That they were precious. The old ones, not the new ones. The new ones are all "fake" she'd say 😂
This is so interesting and amazing. I wish can learn the traditional way to make them.
Fascinating. I have this pattern of dishes and now know the background. Thanks. Please film the origins with the pattern that has 4 chinese characters in a circle that comes in 4 different colors, gaudy, but very Chinese
While the Geometric shape does say "工", (from other research) it actually more likely is the I-ching hexagram which dissects horizontal lines into different configurations of Ying-yang. It makes more sense because you wouldn't really pair an imperial dragon with a word that means working class.
I can't believe it was made by skillful hand made stamp! I bought it in Australian chinese oriental market for $5 a bowl few years ago and still using it today
I want these now
my family had a bunch of these bowls when i was little. we still might have a few but hard to find them where i live now.
I hope china would exert more effort in preserving their traditional crafts including the original technique of porcelain making.
I always want to buy those bowls
Oh my, i just use this plate and bowl to eat today! Now i know the history!!
加油！
My favorite bowl ever
SOMONE SEND ME A LINK TO BUY THEM IVE LOOKED EVERYWHERE FOR REAL BOWLS LIKE THESE ONES BUT MOST I SEE ARE FAKES IF ANYONE FINDS A LINK PLZ SEND IT TO ME
Could let memknow if u found then? Looking to buy this from this factory
Ultimately these are still factory made using automated techniques. If you really want to learn about the history of Chinese blue and white porcelain look up the town of Jingdezhen. It is where porcelain was first used and where people still make handmade pots today.
I just go to Chinese housewares stores in the big cities on the west coast of the US (Seattle, San Francisco). Never seen them for a fair price online.
I found some on EBay... not cheap... but free shipping from China. Used, not new. (Sadly, no Chinatown closer than 800 miles. So... eBay.)
How can they be purchased? Is ordering them online a possibility?
If you have a Chinatown or even a Chinese grocery store anywhere close by (they're often very small, aren't advertised online, so you might need to ask some Chinese people near you if you have any 😅) -- most Chinese stores that sell food will also sell bowls, plates, and porcelain soup spoons. Can't be certain they're handmade and not machined though, which is unfortunate.
I have the plate, small bowl for sauces, and a regular sized bowl
Where can we buy their products?
I want one
So sad 😢. Such beauty and skill. Gone.
I have these bowls from my parents 😳
❤
I have a set of these bowls passed down from grandma that are totally translucent. Obviously they're for display only. Now I know the history behind it.
That sounds amazing, that they're translucent.
@@Goldthread the bowls are paper thin and they're like 20% smaller than normal bowls so not for real use.
i also
buyed This we like ThaT very much
In my family China was center piece of all large family dinners together, it was a big deal once. The pride of my grandmother and mother until it all got stolen by my ex employer
D.M.
Grew up with these...
I have one in my kitchen.
Thank you that was extraordinary ✌🏾🥢
do you know if he has a website where we can buy these bowls directly?
I have 1plate like this
Where can I buy these?
Kaiser Kapin usually any Asian market or stores in your local Chinatown.
@@tr7287 I went to 99 ranch market and they had an identical bowl but the rice grains were painted on, not translucent.
how to buy?im frm Malaysia
Sad to see this art making gone
I have that bowl！It’s probably older than me🤣
How much the only 1 plate like that this time year 2023?
Never forget the horrors of the Great Leap Forward
THY BOWL IS EXQUISITE G
I used to live in Europe. Common they use these as decoration.
Would've been nice to see how its made using modern machinery, the stamp is like a giant water balloon
景德镇人，哭了
I bought it for 1 dollar and selling it for 100 dollars in my country 💸💸
2:53 Is not half of year,He says 8 years,here is wrong.
These high quality items only costs 30 cents. Capitalism is so great that it makes high quality items affordable to the lower class
Reprivatize. Bye
They eat dogs in those plates
Yeah we do as well as cats snake and other delicous things
Jason Deng mmm that sounds delicious 😂
江西人只用这个吃粉
yes we eat human
Is beautiful and all, but isn't cobalt a very poisonous material? I highly doubt if that things food grade safe
