“Small cups are paired with rock tea and large bowls are paired with Pu’er tea”. A nice cup of tea needs a suitable tea set. Recently, a small replica of the blue and white porcelain cup has been sold for RMB 125,000 at a collector-grade porcelain auction during the Jingdezhen Porcelain Week on the “Dongjia” app. Jingdezhen is a city in Jiangxi Province, which is also a leading porcelain-manufacturing centre in China.

This blue and white porcelain cup is made by Jiang Xin, who is also the founder of brand “Wan Yu”. She became one of the first artisans to settle in the Dongjia app in 2017. She believes that live streaming not only shortens the distance between products and users, but also accelerates product iteration, making artisans quicker to know what users like and need.

Jingdezhen Porcelain Week is held from April 21-30, and is aimed at guarding the “ingenuity” of the porcelain industry. After years of industry cultivation, tens of thousands of excellent craftsmen have gathered on this app.

“This activity brings not only collector-grade porcelain works as intangible cultural heritage made by masters, but also outstanding porcelain masterpieces directly supplied by Jingdezhen and sourced at moderate prices. We hope to bring users cost-effective works that represent the skill level of craftsmen in Jingdezhen”, said the person who in charge of the “Dongjia”app.
