shard box store
No. 1 Ritan Bei Road, Chaoyang
Beijing, China
"During the Chinese Cultural Revolution, (1966-1976), keeping the antique porcelain at home was regarded as illegal. So many collectors broke their porcelain and threw them away.
Just after the revolution, we began to collect the broken pieces of antique porcelain and tried to bring them back to life again. Around 1983-1985, the Shard Box was created.
The Shard Box is not only a collection of antique porcelain, but also a collection of Chinese history."
