Artistic ceramics are produced by the Guilin Artistic Ceramics Factory and two other factories with an annual output of nearly one million pieces. In recent years, two production systems – pottery and porcelain – have been established, contributing to the perfection of various products. Manufactured with original design and a refined process, the products feature both classical elegance and modern vitality. A dozen product series, such as Goat Kettles, Pipa Bottles, Xixangshan Kettles and Chinese Painting Bottles, have won awards at the provincial and ministerial level, and have been exhibited in France, Spain, Germany, Japan and other foreign countries. The products have been sold to all parts of China and dozens of countries in Asia and Europe. The newly-developed imitation terracotta warriors are sold to America exclusively.
