Jingdezhen International Ceramic Fair Festival in Jingdezhen
First held in 2004, the Jingdezhen International Ceramic Fair turns China's 2,000-year-old porcelain capital into a global trade and culture platform each October, with recent editions filling roughly 140,000 square metres with over 700 exhibitors from dozens of countries. Jingdezhen holds UNESCO Creative City status for ceramics, and the fair showcases both traditional blue-and-white styles and contemporary international ceramic art.
Two thousand years of continuous porcelain production, dating back to the Han dynasty, is the claim Jingdezhen's ceramic fair exists to demonstrate: that this Jiangxi city is still a working centre of a craft most places only preserve in museum displays.
