Being a category of the artwork and due to its special properties, pricing theceramic artwork is quite complicated. This paper attempts to provide a method on settingthe price of contemporary ceramic artwork.The paper consists of three parts: introduction, text and conclusion. The introductionmainly relates to the research background, purpose, significance of the topic and themain research methods and ideas of the paper. The text has four chapters and can bedivided into three parts as follows: The first part is the second chapter, mainly elaboratesthe overseas and domestic research status from three aspects: the artwork market, generalartwork’s pricing and ceramic artwork’s pricing.The second part is the third and fourthchapter, the theoretical foundation of the paper. The third chapter firstly expounds theartwork’s value and its components, then raises the factors affecting the artwork’s price,including the factors of supply, demand, middlemen and environment, foreshadowing thevalue structure of ceramic artwork expressed in the fourth chapter.

The conclusionsummarizes the paper’s research results and brings up the innovations of this paper.
