Lin + Wang
In a tiny mountainside studio in Miaoli County work husband and wife, Mr. Lin Ming Ci and Ms. Wang Qiu Xue, side by side at the potter’s wheel. While their pieces are deeply intertwined in aesthetic and form, each artist’s work is distinct, bearing a subtle thumbprint unique to handcrafted art.
Working primarily in unadorned, high-fired porcelain, their teaware serves as a canvas for brewing; bone white vessels highlighting the many shades of steeping tea.

Shop Erin Louise Clancy →Liao Guo Hua
Taiwanese ceramicist Liao Guo Hua’s ceramics career began in 1994 under the tutelage of master ceramicist Ye Xing You. Ten years later, he opened his own ceramic studio in Nantou, and two years after that, hand-built his own wood-fire kiln on a hillside close to his home.
Liao Guo Hua’s work range in character and form, and includes both glazed and unglazed pieces. The common thread linking them is the sparse aesthetic of his forms, and his careful allowance of fire and ash to transform the color and texture of those forms.
