从购买前确认、陶艺烧制周期到双箱包装、航空行李和国际寄送，帮助游客减少陶瓷破损及责任不清的问题。
A practical workflow from purchase and kiln timing to double-box packing, airline baggage and international shipping, designed to reduce breakage and unclear responsibility.
购买或制作前先问五件事
确认作品尺寸、重量、材质、是否已完全烧成，以及能否出具清单或发票。DIY作品还要确认烧制周期、窑烧失败或变形风险、取件方式、逾期保管和寄送费用。景德镇的活态制瓷仍由大量工作室和创作者参与，不同工作室规则并不统一。
如果离店后才决定寄送，责任边界往往最模糊。付款前把包装标准、承运人、保险、破损理赔和目的国税费写进订单或聊天记录。
随身、托运还是快递
小件高价值作品可优先评估随身携带，但必须符合航空公司尺寸、重量和安检要求；较大作品通常托运或快递。不要假设“易碎品”标签等于赔偿承诺，也不要把未经固定的瓷器直接放入软箱。
建议使用软质缓冲材料包裹器物，固定空腔，再置入坚固内箱；内箱四周继续缓冲后放入外箱。多件作品之间必须隔离，盖、把手、细颈和突出部位要单独保护。
国际寄送必须再次核实
寄往境外时，应向承运公司确认目的国是否接受、申报品名和价值、尺寸重量限制、保险范围、关税及派送方式。古董、疑似文物、含特殊材料或无法证明来源的物品不能按普通旅游纪念品处理。
保留购买凭证、作品照片、包装过程照片和运单。多语种导游可帮助与工作室沟通，但海关、航空和承运规定以相关机构当日要求为准。
Ask five questions before buying or making
Confirm size, weight, material, whether firing is complete, and whether an itemized receipt is available. For DIY work, also confirm kiln turnaround, failure or warping risk, collection, storage deadline and shipping charge. Jingdezhen's living ceramic ecosystem includes many independent studios with different rules.
Responsibility becomes unclear when shipping is arranged only after leaving. Before payment, record packing standard, carrier, insurance, breakage claim process and possible destination taxes in the order or message thread.
Cabin, checked baggage or courier
Small valuable work may suit cabin baggage only if airline size, weight and security rules permit. Larger pieces normally require checked baggage or courier service. A fragile sticker is not a compensation promise, and loose ceramics should never be placed directly in a soft suitcase.
Wrap with soft cushioning, stabilize hollow spaces and place the piece in a strong inner box. Cushion that box inside a second outer box. Separate multiple pieces and protect lids, handles, narrow necks and projections individually.
Recheck every international shipment
Ask the carrier whether the destination accepts the parcel, how to declare description and value, size and weight limits, insurance, duties and final delivery. Antiques, suspected cultural relics, unusual materials or objects without clear provenance cannot be treated as ordinary souvenirs.
Keep receipts, object photos, packing photos and the airway bill. A multilingual guide may help with studio communication, but customs, airline and carrier rules in force on the day control the shipment.
