A Chinese porcelain manufacturing company had won the order to make the official tableware to be used at the British royal wedding of Prince William and Princess Kate Middleton.

Guangxi Sanhuan Group， based in Beiliu， a city in Chinas southern Guangxi Province known locally for its ceramics and porcelain ware， said they came out tops over more than 500 companies bidding to produce royal wedding porcelain， fighting off manufacturers around the globe.

The company was taxed with producing some 16，000 porcelain tableware products to be used at the wedding. Company officials said the products are divided into five categories including a dining plate， a coffee cup and saucer set， a commemorative mug and a souvenir plate. They were either used at the wedding or given to wedding guests as souvenirs. The design is generally a uniform one featuring a photograph of Prince William and Kate Middleton inside a heart shape with the words “William and Catherine” written below.

Established in 1987， Guangxi Sanhuan is a modern Chinese success story-a once State-owned company that has now gone private， tailoring a reputation of being a quality manufacturer for ceramics and porcelain over the last decade.

It employs more than 8，000 and is known for producing high-end table and dining ware for export to Europe， the United States and Southeast Asia. The company was set to finish the production of the porcelain by the middle of January and its workers are pleased by the publicity generated by the order.

Besides this official order， other Chinese manufacturers had been cashing in on the royal wedding as they churn out tens of thousands of replica royal engagement rings as well as other imitation wedding memorabilia that were in demand globally ahead of the April 29 wedding.

英國威廉王子和王妃凱特·米德爾頓的皇室婚禮上使用的官方餐具是“中國制造”，中國一家瓷器制造公司獲得了這份訂單。

三環(huán)集團總部位于北流市，中國南部廣西省，在當?shù)匾蕴沾芍破分Q。該集團在競標生產(chǎn)皇室婚禮瓷器的500多家公司中脫穎而出，打敗了來自全球各家制瓷企業(yè)的競爭對手。

該公司承擔生產(chǎn)大約1.6萬件婚禮瓷器餐具的重任。公司負責人表示，婚禮瓷器分為五個品種，分別是餐盤、咖啡杯、茶碟、紀念馬克杯以及紀念碟。這些瓷器或在婚禮上使用，或者作為紀念品送給婚禮來賓。瓷器的設計大致相同，心形的圖案中飾有威廉王子和凱特·米德爾頓的畫像，下方寫有“威廉和凱瑟琳”的字樣。

廣西三環(huán)集團成立于1987年，是現(xiàn)代中國成功故事的縮影。這家企業(yè)原為國企，現(xiàn)已改制為民營企業(yè)，在過去十年間成為陶瓷制品的高質(zhì)量生產(chǎn)商，享有美譽。

該企業(yè)現(xiàn)有八千多名員工，所生產(chǎn)的高端陶瓷餐桌及餐具遠銷到歐美和東南亞，極富盛名。該公司將于本月中旬完成這批瓷器的生產(chǎn)，工人們非常高興看到這筆訂單讓公司聲名大噪。

除了這筆官方訂單外，中國其他廠商也正從皇室婚禮這一商機中獲利。有些廠商生產(chǎn)了數(shù)萬件訂婚戒指的仿制品，以及其他仿制的婚禮紀念品。在4月29日這場皇室婚禮舉辦之前，這些商品在全球都非常緊俏。
