多少年来，谈到优质骨瓷总叫人联想到英国的精制陶瓷。
年初得挚友盛情安排，前往广州参观依祺瓷酒店餐具厂，一家拥有祖传三代制瓷技术的企业，亦为国内陶瓷餐具十大知名企业之一。
参观当天，叫我喝采的除了接触到琳琅满目我国优质陶瓷制品外，更欣赏该厂对外学习的精神，与日本制瓷专家合作逾十五年；在中、日双方技术研发上获取骄人成果；成功研制独特配方，产品瓷质坚硬、超薄通透，媲美欧、美品牌陶瓷工艺。
最叫我感动的是眼前一位年轻人，依祺瓷第三代传人，三十岁出头，有礼、耐心地对我这位陶瓷门外汉，介绍其祖业的传统文化、技术及与时并进的营运理念。
面对这位第三代传人郭文峰胖子，看来老诚持重，表现大方得体；但眼神中却不经意地流露出承受着那三代祖业的传承重担；落在仍带点儿稚气的脸孔，叫我内心不禁对文峰产生惜才赞叹：『祖传三代的包袱太沉重了。』
近两个月，由于经常往返广州公干，有机会便跟文峰碰面、交流国际市场拓展机遇，他亦坦然道出意欲走出广州，闯出中国；向国际市场进发。
难得年青人心怀大志，我老人家亦乐意扶持，祝愿文峰努力为依祺瓷闯天下，前途锦绣。
Speaking of fine China, it was only like natural for us to relate to the Royal China from England until the late 70′s when Japanese Department Stores were gradually introducing into Hong Kong.
I enjoy visit to these Japanese Department Stores. It is unwinding and exposing myself to the amazingly unique packaging of anything on display. To be precise, I was attracted to the tranquil beauty of their ceramic, porcelain and bone china.
It has always sat at the back of my mind, knowingly ceramic was made 8,000 years ago in our motherland … clay was used for making dishware and cooking utensils … while wondering where this interesting history of such civilization gone and or evolve .. to my heart’s delight, I was introduced to meet with a pleasantly plum young man in his early 30′s, the 3rd generation in charge of fine ceramic, porcelain and bone china manufactory inheritance.
Meeting with Sam in his factory is indeed an eye-opening learning experience. By listening to his introductory of basic technical progression about ceramic, porcelain and bone china was like asking myself: “are you prepare to dive into the history of this civilization?”
Well, on a happy note, Sam has decided to participate and present his work online with us, please stay tune for the continuous story to be told on the “making of ceramic, porcelain and bone china” – Eqichina.
