Is modern Dehua porcelain still made today?

Modern Dehua porcelain remains active today, with factories and studio workshops producing millions of ceramic pieces each year in Fujian Province. Contemporary makers create Buddhist figures, tea ware, hotel porcelain, art sculpture, and export souvenirs. Some artists continue traditional hand-modelling methods passed through family kiln lines, where Dehua County now supports large ceramic industries tied with tourism and overseas export sales. Local reports from Fujian media estimate annual porcelain output reaching billions of yuan and ceramic festivals attract visitors from China, Japan, Europe, and North America. Modern technology changed production speed greatly, where electric kilns, slip casting, and computer-controlled firing now appear across many workshops. Handcrafted studio pieces still command higher prices among collectors seeking artistic individuality rather than factory uniformity and some living artists recreate Ming-era Blanc de Chine styles closely.
