Jianshui is a small city located in the southern part of Yunnan. It is well-known for its rich history and distinctive cultural heritage. Purple pottery, a symbol of Jianshui, is also recognized as an intangible cultural heritage of Yunnan and is considered one of the top four types of Chinese pottery. The fondness for purple pottery stems from the deliciousness of steam pot chicken and the cosiness of pottery tea cups during the chilly winter season. Every piece of purple pottery is a rare gem, showcasing the artistry of clay and fire, as well as the knowledge and heritage passed down by our ancestors.
