The Qingci Guarantee

Three promises on every order.

These are not marketing lines — each one is written into our returns and damage-claim policies.

01

See your exact piece before it ships.

Glazes and brushwork vary from piece to piece, so no two are exactly alike. Before dispatch we photograph the exact piece packed for your order — on request, a short video too. If it is not what you wanted, we cancel and refund in full before it ever leaves Jingdezhen.

02

Arrives intact — or you pay nothing.

Porcelain in transit is our risk, not yours. If anything arrives broken, send photos within 7 days and choose a free replacement or a full refund, shipping included. You never post the broken piece back.

03

30 days to change your mind.

Return any unused piece within 30 days of delivery. Payment runs through Stripe’s secure checkout — we never see or store your card details, and your exact shipping rate is shown before you pay.

The Process

Eleven Representative Stages of Jingdezhen Porcelain

A complete Jingdezhen porcelain workflow contains about 72 steps. These eleven representative stages explain how mineral-refined porcelain clay becomes a finished vessel.

Raw Material Stage

Raw Material Stage

The body of porcelain is decided before the wheel ever turns.

Mining and Clay Sourcing
01

Mining and Clay Sourcing

Jingdezhen · Step 01 of 11

Porcelain stone is selected, crushed, washed, and refined into dedicated porcelain clay.

Washing and Purification
02

Washing and Purification

Jingdezhen · Step 02 of 11

The mined material is washed, screened, and purified to remove coarse sand and iron.

Settling and Aging
03

Settling and Aging

Jingdezhen · Step 03 of 11

The refined clay slurry is settled, dewatered, and aged so the body becomes even and plastic.

Hand Wedging
04

Hand Wedging

Jingdezhen · Step 04 of 11

The clay is wedged by hand to expel air pockets and align texture for firing.

Forming Stage

Forming Stage

This is where proportion, silhouette, and balance first appear.

Wheel Throwing
05

Wheel Throwing

Jingdezhen · Step 05 of 11

On the wheel, the artisan raises the wall and opens the form by touch.

Trimming and Refining
06

Trimming and Refining

Jingdezhen · Step 06 of 11

After partial drying, the body is trimmed to correct proportion and finish the foot.

Decoration Stage

Decoration Stage

Decoration is not surface ornament alone; it is where the vessel receives identity.

Underglaze Blue Painting
07

Underglaze Blue Painting

Jingdezhen · Step 07 of 11

Blue-and-white brushwork is painted directly onto the body. Once it enters the kiln there is no second chance.

Glaze Application
08

Glaze Application

Jingdezhen · Step 08 of 11

A clear glaze is applied over the painted surface so the fired surface carries depth and light.

Firing and Completion

Firing and Completion

The kiln decides whether the work merely survives, or truly becomes porcelain.

Kiln Loading and Firing
09

Kiln Loading and Firing

Jingdezhen · Step 09 of 11

Temperature rise, soaking, and atmosphere all shape the final body, glaze, and color.

Kiln Opening and Inspection
10

Kiln Opening and Inspection

Jingdezhen · Step 10 of 11

Form, ring, glaze, and painting are judged together before a piece is accepted.

Customer reviews

What buyers actually wrote.

Every review below was left by a Qingci customer and is published unedited, four-star ones included. Reviews appear on the piece they were written for.

Delicate and elegant. The four gentlemen (plum, orchid, bamboo, chrysanthemum) are painted so delicately. Hung them in the dining room and they look genuinely elegant. Each plate came individually wrapped — nice attention to detail.

Looks way more expensive than it is. The mix of wood and ceramic beads is really elegant, and it stacks beautifully with my watch. Got several compliments the first day I wore it. Nice weight to it, feels solid, not cheap.

Everyone asked where I got these. These are adorable and honestly better quality than most lucky cats you see. Nice weight, crisp details. Put one on my desk and gave the other two to coworkers — now half the office wants them.
