Downtown Jingdezhen Porcelain Outlet
When it comes to porcelain, the town of Jingdezhen is by far the most famous in China.
On the southern side of Zhushikou Dongdajie near the Beijing Emperor lies a large Jingdezhen porcelain shop named Jiangqing Zhai.
It is owned by a porcelain company based in Jingdezhen.
Various delicate porcelain wares behind the shop windows attracted me in.
The spacious setting is full of art. A wide variety of porcelain items are displayed on shelves. The selection was very good.
According to the shopkeeper, who is from Jingdezhen, all these items on display can be divided into four categories: artistic porcelain created by famous artists, antique reproductions, daily-use porcelain, and gift items.
I noticed several beautiful items.
One was a plate painted with colorful mandarin ducks, lotus flowers, and lotus leaves (RMB 70).
Another was a gift box, which contained three little caskets painted with lovely pandas eating bamboos (RMB 100).
I also admired many elegantly-painted vases with strong traditional Chinese characteristics.
