The town is not only a center for all types of manufacture, but also for the creation of ceramic art.
Foreign ceramists (Americans, Japanese, Europeans, etc.) are setting up their workshops, and recently young Chinese ceramists, coming out of the institutes, are appearing on the market.
Today, this new generation of potters not only revisits the classics, but also produces contemporary functional and artistic objects. The city has around 500,000 inhabitants, 90% of whom are potters.
