What is Art Pot?

Art basin refers to the ceramic basin used in the bathroom to wash hands or face, which is different from the ordinary white ceramic bathroom basin, and generally refers to the high-temperature ceramic basin produced in Jingdezhen, China.
Most of the art pots are handmade, using Jingdezhen's unique kaolin and traditional porcelain making techniques, the firing temperature is between 1280 degrees and 1350 degrees, the porcelain surface is wear-resistant, the glaze is completely vitrified, the water absorption rate reaches zero, and the content and means of decoration have unlimited possibilities.

Before the 21st century, China's bathroom porcelain was still all the same white face, people also used to think that bathroom ceramics are white, and the ceramic products seen on the market are also white. No one thought that the bathroom basin could be made into something like a work of art, and this habitual thinking began to be broken at the beginning of the 21st century. This is a breakthrough in the rebirth of Jingdezhen's proud and irreplaceable traditional skills, and a docking of ancient ceramic culture and modern home life concepts. This docking combines tradition and modernity, practicality and artistry, traditional Chinese ceramic craftsmanship and Jingdezhen's unique ceramic decoration means with modern life concepts and aesthetic needs. This can be said to be a bow of high-end artworks to everyday home porcelain, or it can be said that daily ceramics look up to high-end artworks.

In 2004, Jingshen Ceramics began to try and expand in the field of high-temperature glazed ceramic basins, and put forward the concept of "non-white bathroom", and at the same time, various workshop owners in Jingdezhen also smelled new market information, and the workshop producing traditional ceramic vases also began to appear in the figure of the basin, in the kiln, the colored basin began to be smelted with the traditional vase in a kiln fire with a high temperature of more than 1300 degrees. As the number of art pots on the market slowly increased, the name of the art pot began to slowly appear. In Guangdong area, Foshan, the concentration of Chinese sanitary ware ceramics, a large number of people in wholesale Jingdezhen this high-temperature color ceramic bathroom tub, and then set up wholesale points and retail points in the local area, because to distinguish from the traditional white ceramic bathroom, the three words of art basin are slowly fixed, since then, the three words of art basin began to spread in southern China, from Jingdezhen to Guangdong, and then to all over the country, from factories to wholesalers, to owners, art basin has become a common word.
