Welcome to Lumi Gift Shop！
Where is Jindezhen？
The History
Jingdezhen, the “Porcelain capital of the world”, has been producing ceramics for over one thousand years. Way back in the Song Dynasty, Emperor Zhen Zhong gave a small town named Changnan an imperial order for ceramics. The pieces were all stamped with the name of the emperor’s era name, “Jing de”, and Changnan gradually assumed the name “Jingdezhen”. Once the imperial kilns were established, artisans from the north migrated to Jingdezhen, bringing skills and advanced techniques. Jingdezhen’s porcelain wares soon became famous throughout the world.
Jingdezhen Today
Today, Jingdezhen is an interesting mix of old and new. Throughout the city you will find the remains of old ceramics factories, most of which are now officially closed. But the ruins are now populated with small ceramics workshops which produce a wide range of porcelain ware. In fact, on almost every street in Jingdezhen you can find workshops. Out of those that don’t actually make ceramics, many are devoted to supporting the ceramics industry. Local craftspeople make everything required for producing ceramics- brushes, glazes, tools, kilns, carts, decals, and on and on. From slipcast production wares to handmade masterpieces, Jingdezhen is still the number one supplier of porcelain to the world. Aside from porcelain ware, there still remains a minority of producers of folk pottery, many of whom use local stoneware clay bodies and traditional methods of production.
We are a gang of ceramic fanatics, artists, and professional mess-makers based in Jingdezhen, China.
So, Who Are We?
We aren’t a giant, boring factory run by robots. We are a big family of independent artists.
Think of Lumi Gift Shop as a pottery party. We brought together the coolest, most talented creators in town and put all our favorite works in one place.
Some of us are obsessed with cute designs.
Some of us love that classic, elegant look.
All of us make things with our own two hands.
Real Humans, Real Art
Look at our photos. That big studio? That’s our happy place. Those people painting and chatting? That’s us!
Because everything here is handmade, nothing is "perfect" in the machine sense. You might find a tiny thumbprint or a glaze drop that decided to do its own thing. We love that. It means a real human made your gift, not a machine.
Why "Lumi"?
You know that little spark of joy when you unwrap a gift? Or that warm feeling when you hold a mug that fits perfectly in your hands? That is the "Lumi."
