I would like to know the name of these artists to possibly purchase one of their designs. I would have also liked to see how the vases turned out after firing.

@@mangacollector2718 You clearly have never set your hands to making pottery. Even in porcelain factories, most of the porcelain is shaped by hand, not by machine. And it is VERY DIFFICULT work, requiring years of experience to get just right.

@@Luboman411 pffft jingdezhen has always been, since the ancient times, the center of porcelain for the emperor of China, and those porcelains were created in ancient factories. Parallel to that, the porcelains aimed for exports during the age of exploration were made in pottery factories of Zhangzhou. So fuck you
