The world's largest blue-and-white porcelain plate was officially certified by Guinness World Records on Friday in Jingdezhen, an east China city renowned for its rich ceramic traditions.
The plate measures an impressive 2.48 meters in diameter and weighing approximately 500 kilograms. It features intricate hand-painted depictions of nine historical cultural landmarks from Jingdezhen, artistically showcasing the city's journey from porcelain production to international distribution.
The challenging creation of this massive porcelain plate was a collaborative effort involving five skilled artisans who worked together for a total of 1,080 hours.
Jingdezhen, often referred to as the "Porcelain Capital", boasts a history of ceramic production that spans over 2,000 years. Historically significant as a royal workshop, the city has elevated porcelain craftsmanship to unprecedented heights. Today, Jingdezhen stands as China's only national ceramic culture inheritance and innovation pilot zone with an extensive network of supply chains and state-of-the-art facilities.
The 2024 China Jingdezhen International Ceramic Expo started Saturday and will run through Tuesday. The event will host over 1,100 ceramic enterprises from 12 countries and regions, attracting professional buyers from nearly 50 countries participating in the Belt and Road Initiative for procurement and brand engagement.
