Ceramics by Craftsmanship

Celadon

First developed during the Northern Song Dynasty, celadon is a transparent but colored glaze known for its green to sky blue hue, and for the fine network of crackling on a finished piece. Our collection are true celadons, all fired in a reductive kiln above 1260C using controlled concentrations of iron oxide to bring out its color.

Zisha

Zisha means “purple sand” in Chinese – but the clay is neither purple, nor is it even one specific color. Instead, it’s an umbrella term that includes several major clay types found embedded between the strata of sedimentary rock formations in Jiangsu Province. Though each tea pot is distinct, collectively, they share a simple, beautiful aesthetic.

Wood-Fired

Using wood-fueled kilns that reach temperatures as high as 1300C, wood-firing produces pieces that are organic, dramatic, and sometimes beautifully unpredictable. Our collection of wood-fired ceramics are all hand-crafted, and fired for a minimum of 3 to 5 days by the ceramicist, and often re-fired to achieve richness and sheen.

Porcelain

A white translucent ceramic with Chinese origins, porcelain vitrifies at high firing temperatures. The result is thin, ethereal, yet strong. Our collection of porcelain are hand-thrown, gas and wood-fired, glazed and unglazed.
