RESEARCH ABSTRACT: This design is a tableware research project of Jingdezhen Ceramic University. The background of the design and research is mainly based on the fact that most tableware on the Chinese market are large sets, with a lot of plates, bowls and pots. However, for a large number of young families, especially young people living in crowded houses in China's big cities, the tableware of large sets takes up space and is very expensive, Through questionnaire survey and e-commerce data analysis, we found that a large number of Chinese young people, especially young people in big cities, have a per capita housing area of only about 20 m2, and the price of tableware purchased by Chinese young people is mostly less than 300 yuan. The number of plates and bowls in tableware is very small, and the number of couples or families of two is mainly concentrated in 2-3, Moreover, more and more young people have the habit of drinking tea or coffee. Based on the data we have obtained, we position the design as a simple tableware for a family of two. We need to pay attention to saving space, and drinking tea after dinner is more suitable for young people's health than drinking coffee. Therefore, we design according to these factors and in combination with well-known ceramic manufacturers in China, through many scheme modifications and process improvements, This plan was finally determined. In addition, according to China's consumption habits, we also gave this set of tableware the attribute of gift. The manufacturer believes that this has a better meaning and market prospect.
CHALLENGE: The most difficult part is the process. The ceramic material will be deformed after firing at 1300 degrees Celsius. The lid and the bottom are difficult to match. It takes many process adjustments to meet the requirements.
