NANCHANG, Oct. 19 (Xinhua) — The 2025 China International Ceramics and Porcelain Fair opened Saturday in Jingdezhen, east China's "porcelain capital," attracting more than 1,000 Chinese and foreign buyers.
The five-day event features exhibitors from more than 30 countries, including Russia, Italy, and Germany. The fair covers 140,000 square meters and consists of eight thematic exhibition zones showcasing the full spectrum of the ceramic and porcelain industry—from traditional masterpieces to contemporary design solutions.
According to the organizers, the fair will also feature a number of events, including forums, investment promotion conferences, and a ceramics and porcelain carnival.
"Jingdezhen is an important cultural symbol through which the world learns about China and through which China connects with the world," said Hu Xuemei, secretary of the city's Party Committee.
She said Jingdezhen is fully committed to preserving its ceramic culture and promoting international exchanges so that this ancient art form can shine with new brilliance in the modern era.
Zhang Chonghe, head of the China Light Industry Federation, noted that their organization helps Jingdezhen develop innovative industrial clusters, combine traditional craftsmanship with modern design, and expand the application of ceramics in high-tech fields such as aerospace and biomedicine.
"Today, new forms of business are emerging in Jingdezhen, combining ceramics with cultural products, digital technologies, and tourism," said Zhang Chonghe. "Local zones where cultural and creative industries are developing are thriving, and traditional manufacturing is accelerating its transformation into modern industry."
First organized in 2004, the fair has developed into a multilateral platform for international cultural exchanges, ceramic and porcelain trade, as well as global investment and cooperation.
Last year, the city's ceramic and porcelain industry output exceeded 93 billion yuan (about 13.1 billion US dollars), and its products were exported to more than 80 countries and regions around the world.
The history of local ceramic production, primarily porcelain, spans over 2,000 years. The porcelain produced has long been exported globally. For centuries, Jingdezhen supplied customers in Europe and other regions with custom-made tableware and decorative items.
To date, the city has established partnerships with more than 180 cities in 72 countries, further deepening its international cultural ties.
“When you encounter this remarkable cultural heritage site, which is so symbolic for the global perception of China, one of the first associations that always comes to mind is beautiful porcelain,” said Croatian Ambassador to China Dario Mihelijn, who also praised Jingdezhen’s openness to ceramic artists from around the world.
French artist Boris Griso, a participant in the current Jingdezhen art fair, brought with him a recreation of an ancient French musical instrument made from Chinese clay – a fusion of Eastern and Western traditions.
“I am happy to establish a new connection between different cultures,” he said. -0-
