Time: October 11-14 every year.

Venue: Jingdezhen, Jiangxi Province.

Origin: A millennium in the making of porcelain ware has earned Jingdezhen the name “Capital of Porcelain.” Elegant ornamentation, jade-like textures, and translucent walls – these are reasons behind the superlative quality of porcelain products that bear the name Jingdezhen. The Jingdezhen International Ceramics Festival is organized to disseminate the Chinese ceramics technology and promote international exchange in ceramics.

What’s On: A grand international ceramics show, an exhibition of Jingdezhen porcelain products from the Tang Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, an exhibition of ceramic works by famous contemporary artists, porcelain making demonstrations, tea ceremonies, international ceramics symposium, business activities, etc. There are also tours of the city’s ceramics industry, including porcelain-making technology of the Ming and Qing dynasties, and ruins of ancient kilns, and ceramics study tours.
