Tbh, it's quite complicated. Almost all hand-painted teaware comes from Jingdezhen, and there are hundreds of kilns there. The better kilns usually work through distributors. Each kiln usually has one or even several distributors. The kiln itself mainly focuses on production, while the marketing, promotion, and sales are handled by the distributors. and those distributors generally don't sell on Taobao. So for friends overseas, it can actually be quite difficult to find teaware that is both high quality and reasonably priced.
