Handmade ceramics aren’t cheap, but porcelain is often even more expensive. Compared to other ceramics, porcelain is non-porous, white, and translucent. The secret to these differences is in the clay. But even for experienced potters, porcelain can be challenging to work with. So how is porcelain made and why is it so expensive?

Why Porcelain Is So Expensive | So Expensive | Business Insider

Seriously! the lady painting it, adding significantly to the price, couldn't afford to buy it? Thats modern Capitalism at its worst! That lady is not a valued employee, she is a wage slave!
The “less colour” at the end is bullshit.
I've worked with ceramics, but never porcelain, so I always wondered why it was so expensive and used for things like toilets and dental crowns. I learned a lot here!
just don't drop the traditional designs . Sooner or later people will try to come back to their roots and then the market will be there again.
The clay itself is so smooth and soft to the tough. So loevly to work with.
Can we use DAS brand porcelain for pottery purpose?
China's made in Japan?
I don't want them to "modernize." The modern home is lame precisely because it lacks beauty. Just like churches built in the last century are ugly in comparison to cathedrals. There's a reason these traditions have survived as long as they have, it's because beauty is timeless. Don't give that up for anything, even if there's a rough patch. In the long run it pays to bet on universal beauty, there will always be people who appreciate it.
I am fond of pottery…someday I will learn this craft..
Absolutely stunning. I have some Japanese pieces which I take extra care not to damage
My parents own a small collection of LLADRO. It's about 50 pieces. I have always admired the beauty of those pieces. My favorite is Romeo on a horse.
For anyone that isn't a serious tea drinker the prices may come as a shock, but Arita ware is seen as some of the best.
Awh 4:01 amazing oldeman ❤
Amazing aesthetic episodes ❤
Porcelaine never goes out of style.
Would have important to explain that going over 1300° (more like 1400), fuses the clay into glass (vitrifies), which is what porcelain is, in itself : glass clay. To different temperatures, different ceramics.
One of the best ceramist specialized in crystal glazing, in the world : Guillaume Common ! Look him up.
But I hate the way porcelain feels to touch.
とても美しい
I like the very end when he accepts having to move into a more modern approach. He has a humble wag of looking at things I very much appreciate even the traditional colors, so gorgeous. People will most likely always appreciate hard work and artisan skills. The style and design may change, as Im sure it has as humankind has progressed many times.
I really enjoyed seeing a mixture of both very young and old artisans working here, sharing techniques, and learning from each other.
What would be more interesting is "why does Goodwill throw so much if this away if it's so expensive to buy new?"
Obama is running this country using Biden as a puppet, Biden doesn't even ask for the money, it's Obama
"The original design was very colourful and fit well in a traditional Japanese home.
But it does not match the modern living environment."
Glad to see porcelain design is also adapting to the current tastes.
Is this same as bone china material..?
