Brand Story
The history of Gaochun Ceramics dates back to the Song Dynasty (960-1279), with its kilns burning continuously for over a thousand years, witnessing the rise and fall of Jiangnan's ceramic industry. Historical records show that during the Southern Song (1127-1279), large-scale kilns in the Gaochun area produced celadon and white ware that were traded far and wide. By the Ming and Qing dynasties (1368-1911), the craft had matured, developing distinctive glazes and decorative styles. In modern times, Gaochun Ceramics has embraced contemporary design while honoring tradition, offering daily-use, artistic, and specialty ceramics, making it a representative of Jiangsu's ceramic industry. Beyond functionality, Gaochun Ceramics serves as a vessel of Jiangnan water-town culture, embodying a philosophy of harmony between humanity and nature.

Cultural Note
Gaochun Ceramics is renowned for its hand-throwing and underglaze painting techniques, with a focus on kiln transformation effects achieved at firing temperatures up to 1300°C. The glazes are predominantly celadon, white, and shadowy blue (yingqing), with motifs inspired by Jiangnan landscapes, flowers, birds, and aquatic life. The production process involves dozens of steps, from clay selection and kneading to throwing, trimming, glazing, and firing, each requiring exceptional skill and patience.
