Guantao county of Handan, Hebei province, is known for its black pottery, which was listed as a provincial-level intangible cultural heritage in 2006.
Combining traditional black pottery artistry with lacquer painting, local artisans create a multitude of pottery products.
There are more than 10 black pottery companies in the county, providing jobs for more than 1,100 rural residents. Each worker can earn an annual income of about 20,000 yuan ($2,800).
