From a factory in Dehua, China – World Ceramics Capital and the birthplace of Blanc de Chine – to the world. In spite of how much has changed, we’ve never lost sight of our roots, continually building on traditional ceramics techniques to create better, more innovative products.
We begin with the preparation of the finest raw materials: silky clay that is ground, sieved, demagnetised and filtered to our exacting standards. A clay base is shaped in artisan-designed 3D plaster moulds, and then placed in an automated kiln for the initial biscuit-firing process, which takes place at 800 degrees Celsius.
Pieces are hand-painted to design specifications or glazed to achieve precise or a delimited range of effects like transparency, opacity or glossy/matte. Glazed wares are fired a second time at 1,250–1,300 degrees Celsius for a perfect finish. If decal decorations are needed, they are applied and the pieces fired for a third time.
Finished wares are inspected thoroughly for quality assurance. If they meet our high standards, they are packed and then delivered to our exclusive service partners or direct to customers.
