Are any fine china porcelain dishes still made in China?
Are any "fine china" porcelain dishes still made in China? I'm looking to buy my first set of "china," but almost all manufactures are in Europe, especially Britain.
The Chinese started and perfected hard porcelain dishes. Europeans loved them so much they repeated tried but mostly failed to replicated the material and design. They failed so badly that the now sought after "bone china" and "soft porcelain china" started off as an inferior knock offs.
Hundreds of years later, (today) I can't find a quality, real Chinese made "China." Yet all the expensive collector dishes are foreign, non-Chinese made "china." I don't care how fancy they are, to me they are not authentic and should not be called "China!"
How insulting is it that these cheap, inferior knock offs eventually saturated and took over the "fine china" market, while real china, made in China is now mostly in museums?
Admittedly these European dishes are of excellent quality and very beautiful, but to me they aren't authentic "fine china." I mean you can't call sparkling wine, champagne unless its actually made in Champagne France.
You can take a base model, Ford Mustang shine it up and drop a V8 in it and rebadge it as a GT but it will never be a Real GT or have its value. Id rather have an authentic "good quality" Chinese china than an "excellent quality" imitation European porcelain.
So my question again, does anyone know of a brand of "fine china" that's made in china?
Yes
- Why is Donald J Vermin having a Trade War with China and Canada? Shouldn't he enact penalties on the Billionaire owners of Apple, Ford? General Motors, Maytag, Intel, Amazon, and every other Billionaire American who refuses to build in America, buy in America and support American workers with living wages and complete benefits? Just makes sense, doesn't it?
- Ford, GE etc are raising prices with mass lay offs because of Trumps trade war with China how do blue collar workers feel about Trump now? Just curious about how this makes a person feel to hear this. It typically takes about two-Three years for the new presidents policies to start to affect the economy and it seems to be the case here as well. How does this make you as a Ford worker or advanced manufacturing worker feel? What's your opinion on it?
- Hunting: I got another rental SUV. Mine is still not repaired. Waiting on insurance still? I'm going to trade it in once it gets fixed. It's not as nice since it's a 2010 Expedition. My rental 2019 Cadillac Escalade is $98,000! We may get a AUDI, or another Ford Expedition once we trade the old one in. Need a new one anyways, so they say we will get up to $10,000 after it's all fixed.
