The History of Chinese Tableware
China once used raw clay to make simple containers for cooking rice and other foods. As the Mesolithic approached, this material was replaced by terracotta and ceramics as the Mesolithic approached, and then supplemented by bronze during the Shang dynasty. Over time, ceramics gave way to porcelain. The first Chinese porcelain creations, called rice grain, arrived in Europe around the 14th century and quickly gained popularity. Chinese tableware, like Japanese tableware, is appreciated not only for its practicality, but also for its its aesthetics and its pretty patterns, like the rice grain model.

How to choose Chinese tableware?
To choose Chinese tableware, you must consider several criteria:
The first thing you need to consider before purchasing a Chinese dinner service is the material. This should be strong and resistant to scratches, washing, and especially to heat (from food or microwaves). The most famous materials are porcelain, stoneware, wood, enamelled sheet metal and earthenware, not only for their solidity, but also for their aesthetics.
If you want to put together a Chinese service, opt for plates, bowls, containers and chopsticks of different sizes. The size can vary depending on the intended use and the size of your storage. The same is true for Chinese spoons and other cutlery. Another criterion not to be neglected: style. Choose the color and patterns of your antique or modern Chinese tableware according to your tastes and your interior or table decoration style.
Finally, before buying Asian dishes, it is advisable to determine your budget. Indeed, the price of Chinese dishes is very varied and depends on several elements such as the type of dishes chosen (bowl, cutlery, chopstick, etc.), the construction material, the size and the style. If you have a tight budget, opt for cheap models that fit into your budget.
We offer a wide range of Chinese tableware of different styles and sizes.
