It is? I remember seeing a comment in a video titled “the invention of porcelain” that it went from costing as much as a house to being used for toilets
Quisiera saber las temperaturas de cada una de las tres horneadas
This series made me realize that things are only expensive because people say they are.
It is the best kitchenware that humans have invented. And I hope it will remain the best for next 1000 years.
Molded ceramics have no soul
Wow at the precision of all the hand painted details
Every upload keeps raising the standard. 📈
It doesn't seem expensive at all – simple items are like 7 dollars, I would never create anything by hand for that price, considering the cost on materials, rent, equipment, etc. Half of this is taxes anyway. Even those 400 dollar pieces don't look expensive, considering the hours and the time put in. Of course, not everyone can afford them, but art isn't for everyone. People are so used to mass produced things and Temu.
In the country of so many violent earthquake, i am surprised the pieces are not more protected during the making and firing process.
I am also worried of what would happen if the kiln is at its maximum temperature during an earthquake. I am assuming it shuts down automatically, but it can't cool down too fast either.
is it cheap?
it's japanese man 3:21
Can you do a video on Herend Porcelain
Disgusting fact: the word "porcelain" comes from the Italian "porcellana" which is what they call the shiny mollusc shells known as cowrie shells. Why? Because someone decided cowrie shells resemble the vulva of a female pig, hence "porcellana".
$7 for those bowls is a steal
I have a lot of black ceramic cups and making process, welcome!
ok, Business Insiders mini docs are probably the best made on Youtube. So Expensive, and the one on crafts are my favorite. keep up the amazing work!
Come to Jingdezhen, China, where porcelain comes from. It's not expensive here.
Wonderful craftsmanship and the result is wonderful pieces. The video evokes a lot of emotions as you go through the technology and art of producing these pieces. The pieces produce their own. Being involved in producing such objects must be very gratifying to those who are involved in this kind of craft.
That's the wrong question. Why is porcelain seen as disposable?
Imagine taking something you love and turning it into production work only to find out you can't afford to buy your own pieces. That poor lady.
😂😂😂😂 I'm on the toilet now 😂😂😂😂
What this video doesn’t address is that porcelain clay reacts poorly if you fiddle with it too much. If you overwork it in the throwing/sculpting phase it turns soft and acts like overcooked pasta.
A video on porcelain without show the origins and process in China is a insut to Chinese people, and yet another case the the series erases Chinese culture. You mention the invention of this in China in one sentence that promptly dismissing the issue stating it is made elsewhere and then immediately jumping to Japan where the techniques and even patterns we copied from China. This is disgraceful. I have to give the thumbs-down for erasure os Chinese and our culture. This is an offense. Do better.
👍
Legend said: it is interesting because its difficult 3:59
The patience it must take to ensure consistent quality. 🧐
after watching the amount of work and effort it takes, its more than understandable for the price.
I NEED SOME KIND OF KNOWLEDGE ABOUT THE THESE PEOPLE IS THERE ANY WAY I CAN CONTACT THEM??
The businesses showcased in these videos should have links to their websites in the description so we can support them and so they may also profit from this series. Seems fair.
It seems like Japanese artisans do that a lot. Have one person do one step, I mean. I like that. It seems like in America, even if you're only really good at one part of a job, you have to learn how to do THE WHOLE job in order for it to be a career. For example, if I made pottery, I would be pretty good at throwing clay, but I couldn't paint it very well because my hands are very shaky. If I could do the throwing part and then somebody else paint, like they do here, it would be much more efficient.
