Before this visit to Qinzhou, I learned that Nixing Pottery here is considered one of the 4 famous, classic types of Pottery / Porcelain in China. It was a wonderful afternoon visiting the Showroom, and factory. Nixing Pottery has a history of over 1,000 years.
The business has a great Showroom with one room displaying the many Awards and Recognitions which this pottery has received both within China and Internationally.
A Second room displays the many forms of pottery produced at this facility. All of the items in this Showroom are for sale. There are well informed staff who described the nuances and distinctive aspects of a particular piece of pottery. The pieces here range from tea cups, and tea sets to giant Vases over 5 feet tall.
I was fortunate during my visit to have along a family friend who works for this company. I was allowed to go into the factory, and to observe the pottery being made. This included watching the potter work with the special, local red clay on the potter's wheel. It also included observing workers produce handles out of molds; and watching others polish the completed pottery. All of the workers were skilled at their craft.
The back factory includes a section where senior artists carve images and characters into the pottery. This is a precise component of the manufacturing process. It was clear that these artists were most skilled in their work.
Before leaving I purchased a large mug with an accompanying lid to bring home to Seattle, and to remind me of the wonderful afternoon spent here.
