This "Porcelain House" on Chifeng Road in Tianjin is a French building decorated with many antiques, which was designed by Zhang Lianzhi, the owner of porcelain. Porcelain House is located in Chifeng Road, Heping District, Tianjin. Chifeng Road starts from Haihe River in the east and goes to Qiangzi in the west, crossing the former French Concession.
In 2005, when Zhang Lianzhi went to Huayun Museum for dinner, he was stunned by a wall inlaid with fragments of ancient porcelain. Inspired by this, Zhang Lianzhi thought that if all the houses were pasted with ancient porcelain, the effect might be even more amazing. So he took out all the treasures of Tang Sancai, Song and Yuan official kilns and Ming and Qing dynasties that he had collected for many years and turned them into unparalleled building materials.
