Art basin refers to the ceramic basin used for washing hands or faces in the bathroom. It is different from the ordinary white ceramic sanitary basin, and generally refers to the high-temperature ceramic basin produced in Jingdezhen, China.

High-end art pots are mostly made by hand. Using Jingdezhen's unique kaolin and traditional porcelain making technology, the firing temperature is between 1280 degrees and 1350 degrees. The porcelain surface is wear-resistant, the glaze is fully vitrified, and the water absorption reaches zero. The content and means of decoration have unlimited possibilities.
Before the 21st century, China's sanitary ware ceramics were all white faces. People also used to think that sanitary ware ceramics were white, and the ceramic products seen on the market were also white. No one thought that the washbasin in the bathroom could be made into something like a work of art. People's habitual thinking began to be broken at the beginning of the 21st century.

The first basin that integrated the technology and decorative means of ceramic works of art appeared in Jingdezhen, Jiangxi Province, in 2002. At that time, this kind of basin that was different from traditional white ceramics had not yet a definite name. The high-temperature colored glazed basin in the market had not been widely noticed. People still used to the fact that the bathroom porcelain must be white, and it was prepared by the manufacturer. It was not necessary to design and install it directly, With such a fixed thinking pattern, most of the decoration of the bathroom is still focused on strengthening the function or clean and concise requirements, and personality has not been considered into the bathroom at this time.

In 2004, Jingshen Ceramics began to try and expand in the field of high-temperature colored glazed ceramic tableware, and put forward the concept of "non-white sanitary ware". At the same time, the owners of various workshops in Jingdezhen also smelled new market information. The appearance of the face basin also began to appear in the workshops producing traditional ceramic vases. In the kiln, the colored face basin began to be burned together with the traditional vases in the kiln fire with a high temperature of more than 1300 degrees. As the number of art basins on the market increases, the name of art basin begins to appear slowly. In Guangdong, Foshan, the concentration place of China's sanitary ware ceramics, a large number of people are wholesale this high-temperature color ceramic sanitary ware basin in Jingdezhen, and then set up wholesale and retail outlets in the local area. Because to distinguish from the traditional white ceramic sanitary ware, the three words "art basin" are slowly fixed. From then on, the three words "art basin" began to spread in southern China, from Jingdezhen to Guangdong, and then to all parts of the country, from factories to wholesalers, As for the owner, the art basin has become a common word.

The emergence of the art basin is in line with the trend of the times. With the promotion of the personalized concept of home decoration, some people who have received higher education, pay attention to Chinese traditional culture, and pay attention to independence and individuality are the first group of people to use the art basin. At the same time, with the guidance of some interior designers with high quality and high vision, this group is growing. Personalized home decoration and DIY decoration have become a major trend. At this time, the traditional matching white bathroom can no longer meet the requirements of this group of people who strongly demand individuality or even uniqueness. They should choose their own style, match their own colors, and create their own bathroom life, Colored ceramic art pots have become their best choice.
