In recent days, artisans at Hanfang Wu Kiln Ceramics Culture Co, an artware manufacturer based in Jinhua, Zhejiang province, have been working overtime to produce archaistic ceramics, as traditional Chinese culture is becoming increasingly popular among younger consumers, and orders are rolling in as the Spring Festival approaches.
The company's design and manufacture draw inspirations from Jinhua's well-preserved intangible cultural heritage of Wu Kiln porcelain, which originated in the Three Kingdoms (220-280) period and peaked in the Tang Dynasty (618-907).
