1860年汕头港开埠,以及东南亚等国的经济兴起,带动了潮州陶瓷产品的输出。枫溪陶瓷通过汕头转口贸易港运销各地,其中汕头瓷商公会扮演着重要角色,同时,枫溪瓷产区通过引进新材料,改良产品品质,在"实业救国"等爱国运动中,与欧日洋货展开市场竞争,打造出"中国瓷品·枫溪厂制"的区域品牌。这一时期,枫溪瓷业的发展成为近代潮州窑的重要代表。

The opening of Shantou Port in 1860 and economic booming in Southeastern Asian provided incentives for ceramic products export in Chaozhou. Ceramic products in Fengxi were traded globally via the Shantou Port, and the Shantou Chamber of Ceramic Business also played an important role. At the same time, by introducing new material and improving products quality, Fengxi ceramic industry enhanced its capability in marketing competition with products from Europe, Japan and other overseas manufacturers. This is part of the patriotic movement in China called 'Saving the Nation by Developing Industries'. The process of increasing local brands' competiveness also helped to build up regional reputation in ceramic products manufacturing. Ceramic industry in Fengxi became an important representative of the Chaozhou Kiln.
