A pattern of dedication

Even after graduating from Jingdezhen Ceramic University in 2006, she didn't think about inheriting the family craft and became a saleswoman at a ceramic studio in Beijing back then.

After two years of selling ceramics, Cai was fascinated by the blue-and-white ware.

She quit her job and returned to her hometown in late 2008, starting a two-year learning experience of painting blue-and-white porcelain items.

In 2012, Cai established her own ceramics-making company and two years later, she built the ceramics-themed brand China Story.
