Ceramics Capital Forging Ties with Foreign Counterparts

Jingdezhen, the traditional home of China's porcelain industry, recently forged sister ties with porcelain producers in the United States and Britain.

The city, in east China's Jiangxi Province, has signed a letter of intent with Stoke-on-Trent in Britain and Door County in Wisconsin of the United States in a bid to promote technical cooperation in porcelain development.

As the earliest porcelain maker in the world, Jingdezhen has served as a ceramics capital for more than 1,700 years. Its products are well received at home and abroad.

Stoke-on-Trent began porcelain production in the 14th century. Currently, more than 250,000 people in Stoke-on-Trent engage in porcelain-related production. Door County has a vast group of ceramic artists who had developed products famous in the United States.

Under the letter of intent, the three sides will make joint efforts to create a favorable environment for multi-level non-governmental cooperation in the ceramics industry, build a system for exchanging information in ceramic development, take an active part in exhibitions and trade activities respectively organized by the three locations and host seminars and porcelain-making demonstrations.

A Chinese expert said it is conducive for Jingdezhen to strengthen cooperation with its partners in other regions and raise its competitiveness in porcelain production.
