HonestPorcelain
A working factory in Jingdezhen, not a legend — and a grade we name out loud rather than hide.
A factory, not a fable
Heritage here is not a founding date on a crest. It is the working kilns of the Jingdezhen Ceramic Group, where the flagship Red Leaf (红叶) brand fires its porcelain — and where every service in this catalog is fired beside it. Jiahao (家好) is the honest grade of that work: the same clay, the same decors, the same 1,350 °C, named for what it is and priced like it.
The kiln
From white body to fired service
Four stages, shared to the last degree with the flagship line. Only the final one separates a Red Leaf box from a Jiahao one.
The white body
Every piece is formed from the same high-fired white porcelain body as the flagship line — kaolin pressed and cast into the shapes of the Chinese table, from the large rice bowl to the twelve-inch fish platter. There is one body and one standard; the value mark gets no second recipe.
The fire
The kilns run at 1,350 °C. At that temperature the body vitrifies — fuses into a dense, glassy material that takes up almost no water, resists chipping at the rim and rings a clear note when tapped. Lower firings are cheaper by the degree. The works does not use them.
The decor
Each decor is applied exactly as the flagship Red Leaf brand applies it — the same shan-shui landscape, the same peach boughs, the same Tang vine — then sealed under lead- and cadmium-free glaze, fused to the body at full temperature. Nothing sits on the surface waiting to wear away.
The gate
At the end of the line the inspectors grade every piece against the light. Flawless pieces ship under the Red Leaf mark. What they set aside — for a pinprick speck, a glaze pinhole, a hair of warp — is boxed under the 家好 mark instead. That gate is the entire difference between the two brands.
The grade
What the inspectors set aside
合格品 — qualified grade — is the honest name for what we sell. The body is the same. The decors are the same. Somewhere on the piece is a mark the flagship gate would not pass: a dark speck the size of a pin, a pinhole in the glaze, a rim a hair out of round. Nothing that touches use; only the price.
Qualified grade (合格品, B/C) — minor cosmetic marks such as a dark speck, a pinhole or a slight warp; never anything that affects use.
We would rather name the grade than hide it. It is priced at roughly what a cosmetic mark should cost and no more, and it is stamped plainly under every foot — so a set given as a gift says exactly what it is.

Packaging
Colour-printed gift box
The box
Ready to give
A porcelain service in China is rarely bought for one household alone — it is given, at weddings, housewarmings and the New Year. So the box is part of the product. Every service in the catalog leaves the works in the colour-printed gift box, from the ¥69 rice set to the full ¥498 banquet.
There is nothing to wrap and nothing to add. The set arrives complete, counted and ready to hand over — which is how most of them leave the shelves.

The journal
The honest grade — what 合格品 means, and why we tell you
Same clay, same glaze, same 1,350° kiln as the flagship brand — with a cosmetic mark the inspectors caught. Here is exactly what B/C grade does and doesn't mean.

Where the porcelain goes
All 17 decors — from the shan-shui landscape to a single wash of ink — come off the lines described above, and every one is graded at the same gate.
