Art basin refers to the ceramic basin used for washing hands or faces in the bathroom. It is different from ordinary white ceramic bathroom basins and generally refers to the high-temperature ceramic basin produced in Jingdezhen, China. Most high-end art pots are handmade, utilizing the unique kaolin and traditional porcelain making techniques of Jingdezhen. The firing temperature is between 1280 degrees Celsius and 1350 degrees Celsius. The porcelain surface is wear-resistant, the glaze is completely vitrified, and the water absorption rate reaches zero. The decorative content and methods have unlimited possibilities. Before the 21st century, China's bathroom ceramics were all uniformly white faced, and people were accustomed to thinking that bathroom ceramics were all white, and the ceramic products seen in the market were also all white. No one thought that the washbasin in the toilet could be made into something like an artwork. This habitual thinking of people began to be broken at the beginning of the 21st century. The earliest basin that combines the craftsmanship and decorative techniques of ceramic artworks appeared in Jingdezhen, Jiangxi in 2002. At that time, there was no definite name for this type of basin, which was different from traditional white ceramics. The high-temperature colored glazed basin in the market had not yet received more attention, and people were still accustomed to the fact that bathroom porcelain must be white and matched by the manufacturer, so there was no need to think about redesigning and installing it directly, With such a fixed mindset, most people's demands for bathroom decoration are focused on enhancing functionality or cleanliness and simplicity, and personality has not yet been considered in the bathroom at this time. In 2004, Jingshen Ceramics began to experiment and expand in the field of high-temperature colored glazed ceramic tableware, and proposed the concept of "non white bathroom". At the same time, various workshop owners in Jingdezhen also smelled new market information, and the appearance of face pots began to appear in workshops producing traditional ceramic vases. In kilns, colored face pots began to be burned together with traditional vases in a kiln fire with a high temperature of over 1300 degrees Celsius. As the number of art pots in the market gradually increases, the names of art pots begin to emerge. In the Guangdong region, Foshan, the concentration center of Chinese bathroom ceramics, a large number of people are wholesale high-temperature colored ceramic bathroom basins in Jingdezhen, and then set up wholesale and retail points in the local area. To distinguish from traditional white ceramic bathrooms, the word "art basin" gradually became fixed. From then on, the word "art basin" began to spread in southern China, from Jingdezhen to Guangdong, and then to various parts of the country, from factories to wholesalers, As for homeowners, art pots have become a common vocabulary. The emergence of art pots is in line with the trend. With the promotion of personalized home decoration concepts, some people who have received higher education, pay attention to traditional Chinese culture, and emphasize independence and individuality are the first group of people to use art pots.
