The ceramic catalog, organized the way buyers buy.

Six categories across four material routes — high-fired porcelain, stoneware, bone china and underglaze color. Stock lines from 500 pieces per item; every quote shows MOQ, glaze spec and duty treatment.

BY MATERIAL & GLAZE

Four routes, different trades.

Material choice drives price, durability, weight and compliance posture. Pick the route before the pattern.

RouteAnchor sectionWhat it buys youWatch points
High-fired porcelain1280–1380°CBright white body, glaze clarity, the broadest stock-mold range in ChaozhouWeight per carton drives freight; rim thickness varies by mold family
StonewareReactive glazesRustic-modern look, chunky feel, strong retail storyPiece-to-piece color variation — agree a written variation band first
Bone china~1380°CTranslucency and lightness for premium and gift tiersHigher unit cost; handle gold-rim lines gently in packing spec
Underglaze colorSealed under glazeDecoration sealed beneath the glaze — the structurally safer path for lead/cadmium migration limitsPattern registration and hand-painted tolerance; expect a signed golden sample

Food-contact limits by market (FDA 21 CFR 109.16, EC 84/500/EEC, LFGB, CA Prop 65) are covered in Quality & Compliance; test reports are available on request for any program we quote.
