Nanshishan village of Luoyang city, Henan province, is famous for producing exquisite ancient-style tri-colored glazed pottery (or Sancai, a kind of Chinese porcelain characterized by a glaze with three intermingled colors, flourished in the Tang Dynasty). Nowadays, a group of youngsters have returned to Nanshishan for their businesses, injecting new vitality to the traditional tri-colored glazed pottery. Gao Zhe is one of them.
"I don't think that the youngsters dislike tri-colored glazed pottery. Probably they just dislike the old-fashioned themes, such as camel, horse and terracotta figure,” said Gao Zhe, who together with his partners has designed many creative products by adding modern elements to the traditional firing technique in recent years.
