CERAMICS, SOURCED WHERE THE WORLD FIRES THEM.
CERAMICS is a dedicated tableware and teaware supply brand — ceramics only, sourced at the kilns and delivered duty-shown. We buy at the kilns of Chaozhou, Jingdezhen, Dehua and Liling, and run compliance, packaging and duty-shown delivery as one program.
A CATEGORY DEEP ENOUGH TO DESERVE ITS OWN DESK.
Generalist suppliers treat ceramics as one SKU family among hundreds. It is not: glaze chemistry decides whether a shipment passes food-contact testing, packaging decides whether it survives the ocean, and tariff regimes decide whether the landed cost survives contact with your margin. CERAMICS exists for one category, with an operations center in Yongjia County, Wenzhou and sourcing run inside the four production belts where the world’s daily-use ceramics are actually fired.
Four belts, four specialties.
Each belt has a specialty — your program is matched to the one that actually makes your kind of ware.
Chaozhou
The largest daily-use ceramics production base — the default source for dinnerware and teaware OEM at scale.
Jingdezhen
The porcelain capital — high-end tableware, celadon and artistic lines where glaze character matters.
Dehua
White porcelain and export craft ceramics — gift and seasonal programs with strong export DNA.
Liling
Home of underglaze five-color decoration — the technique behind sealed-color, food-safe-by-design lines.
Four commitments, all in writing.
Sourcing from a written base
Kilns are selected against your body, glaze and price band inside the belt that specializes in the ware — vetted before deposits, quoted to matched specifications you can compare honestly.
Compliance in writing
The standard is named in the program — FDA 21 CFR 109.16, EC 84/500/EEC with CE/DoC, LFGB, CA Prop 65 — with third-party lab migration test reports available on request.
Packaging to a written standard
Individual wrap, cushioning and five-layer cartons as default; marketplace sets packed to a 125 cm drop-test discipline; damage allowance and claim terms built into every quote.
Duty-transparent quotes
The EU’s 79.0% anti-dumping duty is stated in or out of the price; US programs run DDP with duties prepaid; UK orders use company-specific rates. Landed cost is a fact, not a surprise.
WE DO NOT PUBLISH NUMBERS WE CANNOT STAND BEHIND.
Most supplier sites are decorated with invented client logos, capacity counters and walls of certification badges. Ours is built on industry data you can verify and commitments we can document. Transit times are ranges, labeled typical. MOQs are typical and confirmed per SKU in writing. Certificates are offered as test reports on request — never as badges. And because client names never appear on this site without written permission, you will find none here. That restraint is not modesty; it is what a ceramics buyer actually needs from a supply partner: numbers that survive the second order.
Why buying at the source is not a slogan.
