Bone china, as the name suggests, is made by adding bone meal from herbivores to the raw materials, and is characterized by a warm texture, light weight, and crisp percussion sound. Because the porcelain is easy to explode during the firing process after adding bone meal, the production cost is high, and few manufacturers are willing to do it in the early days. Although the British broke through the barriers to bone china production, it was the Chinese national porcelain brand represented by Margolonte that brought the bone china production process to the extreme.
Margolonte is one of the suppliers of porcelain for the National Conference in China, and has been the manufacturer of state banquet tableware in China for ten generations. The brand was founded in the millennium, based on the industry with high-quality bone china production technology, and has been designated as the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) meeting banquet porcelain, the Shanghai Cooperation Organization summit banquet porcelain, has been selected as the World Expo country gift to dignitaries and VIPs from various countries, but also Hangzhou G20 summit banquet porcelain.
The traditional Chinese ceramics industry believes that enterprises should focus on the production process and technical research of ceramics, and the importance of appearance and service is relatively low. Margolonte takes into account both practicality and aesthetics, and has a persistent pursuit of gold painting technology and pattern texture details, lead-free cadmium pigments and gold paste imported from Germany ensure that its surface pattern will not fade for a long time, and professional flower sketch designers make it more in line with the aesthetics of different age groups.
Margolonte has performed well in the mid-to-high-end market, and the high-end series include the West Lake Feast, the Expo Feast and the Chinese Garden, and the main model is currently the West Lake Feast, with the set price above 1,000 yuan, and the highest price can be tens of thousands. The mid-end market is dominated by the Xingyun series, with the price of loose parts starting at 80 yuan, and the most expensive ones not exceeding 200 yuan. In addition to dishes, Margolonte also has tea, coffee and wine sets, and all water utensils are made of ceramic.
Margolonte's high-end collection is made entirely of bone china, while the mid-range products are dominated by high white porcelain. Bone china absorbs less water, the sound of tapping is crisper, and the product is easier to clean. In terms of exterior color, bone china is a warm white with a slight yellowish tinge, which is easier to transmit light, while high white porcelain is a cool bright white. However, bone china products are generally thicker than high white porcelain.
The West Lake Feast is a state banquet bone china tableware designed by Margolonte for Hangzhou G20, and the price of the set is based on the dishesNumber of headsHow much, between 1,000 and 8,000 yuan, the design team includes Zhao Chunyang, the chief designer of the tenth generation of state banquets and the founder of the brand, and Gao Jinming, a professional porcelain craftsman who studied under Chai Pengling, the core founder of Chinese bone china. The bone meal content of this series is about 45%, the porcelain is soft and delicate, the pattern is fine, the average time spent by craftsmen in the product is about 8 hours, and the production rate is about 45%, which is the most ingenious series.
Although most of the dishes are sold in sets, the brand provides a way to buy a single piece, and for consumers who can't nibble on the price of a few thousand yuan in one go, or are not satisfied with the official matching set, they can choose to buy a single piece and match it freely. The fly in the ointment is that Margolonte's Jinbo series bone china rice bowl is large in size, with a diameter of about 12.5 cm.
It should be noted that Margolonte's state banquet series, including the West Lake Feast, the CIIE series and the Chinese Garden, all have gold and silver stroke products, among which the porcelain decoration of the CIIE feast uses glaze color and enamel color technology, such products can not use microwave ovens, dishwashers, and avoid close to open flames to prevent the precipitation of heavy metals in the glaze of dishes.
