CHINESE POTTERY TOWN..
Everything in Chingtechen Belongs
to the Porcelain and Earthen-
ware industry.

For al least 900 years the town
Chingtechen, in China. has been de-
voted to the making Of pottery. Wal
ter Clennell, British consul, describes
the place lie says that everything in
Chingtechen belongs to the porcelain
spd earthenware industry. The
houses are for the most part built Of
fragments OF fre-clay that we're at one
time part either OF old kilns or OF the
fire-clay covers in which the porcelain
is stacked during firing. The river
bank is for miles covered with a deep
stratum OF broken chinaware and chips
OF fire clay and the greater part OF the
town and several square miles Of the
surrounding country are built over or
composed OF a similar deposit.
ChIngtechen is unlike anything else
in China. The forms, the color. the
materials used in the buildings, the at
mosphere are reminiscent of the poor
er parts OF civilized Industrial CEN
ter. There are tO4 large pottery lSilns
in town. The greater part are In use
only for a short season in the summer,
During this busy season the popula-
ton of Chingtechen rises to aboup
400 900 souls. but Of this total nearly
half are laborers drawn from a wide
area OF country, who come for the sea-
son. live in rows OF barracklike sheds.
and do not bring their families with
them.
Visitors to Chingtechen pass along
street after street, where every shop is
occupied by men. women and children
all engaged IN the designing. molding,
painting or distributing of pottery.
Potters sheds. where the clay is mixed
and nodded on the wheel. are innumer-
able. The river bank is crowded for
three miles by iunks either landing
material and fuel or shipping the I'M
ished product II
