BEIJING, Feb. 14, 2023 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --

An exhibition featuring Dehua ceramics was held on Saturday at Sunway Pyramid

Shopping Center in Selangor, Malaysia, which attracted many Malaysian people to

explore the unique charm of Dehua porcelain products.

About 35 Dehua-based ceramic enterprises jointly exhibited high-quality white

porcelain products including master art porcelain, household daily-use

porcelain, and export craft porcelain at the exhibition, demonstrating the rich

cultural heritage and exquisite skills of Dehua ceramics in an all-round way.

Dehua porcelain is a type of white Chinese porcelain made in Dehua County,

Quanzhou City, southeast China's Fujian Province. The plain white porcelain

crafted there has been dubbed "Blanc de Chine" (White from China) by the French

and gained worldwide fame.

In 2022, the output value of Dehua ceramics exceeded 50 billion yuan, said Fang

Junqin, the head of Dehua County.

Porcelain industry in Dehua County is not only a leading industry, but also a

livelihood industry. There are more than 4,000 ceramic enterprises. Among the

356,000 people in the county, one out of three people is engaged in

ceramic-related work, Fang introduced.

This year, Dehua will begin the implementation of a new five-year action plan

for the high-quality development of the porcelain industry and strive to build

Dehua porcelain into a hundred billion industry cluster by 2027, Fang noted.

Fang also pointed out that with RCEP agreement taking effect, the export of

Dehua porcelain to Southeast Asian countries has grown rapidly. From January to

September 2022, Dehua exported 5.77 million U.S. dollars of porcelain products

to Malaysia, surging 324.29 percent year on year.

According to Fang, Malaysia is perceived as the "translator" and "catalyst" for

Dehua porcelain to enter the international market.
