Porcelain and Ceramics
陶瓷
Kinmen has an abundance of fine porcelain(1) clay, feldspar,(2) and quartz,(3) all providing good resources for making porcelain and ceramics.(4) In 1963, the Kinmen Ceramic Factory established to maintain the only official kilns(5) of our country. In the early days, it produced dinnerware,(6) thus the factory was called the "bowl factory" by the residents. It now manufactures blue and white porcelain, colorful pottery, crystal glaze(7) porcelain, and makes porcelain wine vessels for the Kinmen Kaoliang Liquor Factory. All the products combine philosophy, science, and aesthetics,(8) into a mixture of modern and classical designs. The main products can be divided into two categories, namely, ceramic liquor bottles and artifacts.(9)
金門島上蘊藏大量的優良瓷土﹑長石與石英等陶瓷礦物原料。民國五十二年（西元1963年）創立的金門陶瓷廠﹐是全國唯一的官窯。早期以生產碗為主﹐所以居民又稱為「碗廠」。現在則生產仿古青花﹑彩繪陶瓷藝品及結晶釉等﹐並且為金門酒廠製造酒瓶。所有的產品都兼具古典與現代﹐融合哲學﹑科學﹑美學的觀念﹐主要產品分為瓷酒瓶及陶瓷藝品兩大類。
