With the UK's royal wedding drawing near, porcelain makers in China's Tangshan city have been busy designing ceramics for the event.

Busy making souvenirs for the wedding of the year.

This factory in one of China's porcelain producers - Tangshan city - is bustling to fulfill the special commission for Britain.

Li Sufen, said, Tangshan Hengrui Ceramics, said, We finished an order of souvenirs for the Swedish princess before, and people liked them very much. And this time, we made souvenirs for the British Royal wedding. We have much more confidence, and it is really a good task for us to be known in the world.

Having received the order at the end of last year, 45 thousand chinaware pieces have so far been sent to Britain.

Lu Jiling, factory worker, said, I have been working here for more than 4 years. I felt excited when I did those plates. It is also something new to work on for me and for the factory. I hope the royal couple will love each other forever.

The wedding memorabilia is being made with bone china. An important part of the souvenir-making is the temperature, which needs to be closely monitored and controlled during the firing process.

CCTV reporter Xue Jingmeng said, The workers here spent almost 2 months completing the royal order. This is a sample of the chinaware made for the Prince's wedding. Most are now on British shop shelves, while some have been sent to the UK as gifts.

With hopes for further expansion, the company's products have been exported to more than 20 countries and regions around the world.
