Master Yu — Glazara’s House Artisan
Shaped by the earth of the ancient capital of porcelain, Master Yu’s journey began with the quiet brush of overglaze and underglaze, before finding his true voice in sculpture. Clay and glaze became his language — a dialogue of texture, form, and fire.
In his early days, hand-sculpted fish swam from his imagination into being, each carrying a fragment of innocence, a pulse of emotion, and the shimmering possibilities of color. From these beginnings grew a distinctive style of tea ware — layered glazes, high-temperature transformations, and forms that feel alive in the hand.
Now, in an exclusive collaboration with Glazara, Master Yu creates rare, small-batch collections that exist only within our house. Each vessel is unhurried, untouched by mass production, and made to hold beauty, purpose, and soul. For in his hands, true value lies not in sameness, but in the quiet strength of difference.
LUO
Though rooted in the unpretentious countryside, Luo's childhood nurtured his extraordinary perception of aesthetic excellence, with his deep resonance with nature becoming the invisible foundation for his future artistic creations. On the sacred land of ceramics, he immersed himself in a world guarded by craftsmanship, where each process inherits a thousand years of exquisite skill, and each piece crystallizes an artisan's lifelong pursuit. Accompanied by starlight and silence, Luo absorbed the essence of ancient methods while exploring possibilities beyond tradition.
The "TlDE" series showcases Luo's mastery of Tang Dynasty (8th century) "flowing glaze" techniques, requiring precise kiln temperature control and anticipation of glaze movements. His genius lies in fusing natural fluidity with technical rigor—creating works like solidified poems where glazes flow elegantly, forming patterns both rhythmic and unreplicable.
TONG & SHEN
Tong (BFA, School of the Art Institute of Chicago) and his work "Blue-green Curtain" was acquired by the Victoria and Albert Museum (V&A), London in 2021. Shen (BA Ceramic Art & Design, China Academy of Art) collaborate with Tong as an artist duo. Their innovative methodology combines the rigor of digital algorithms with breakthroughs in traditional ceramic formal constraints. The technique not only recreates natural generative patterns but also offers novel interpretations of the relationship between digital computation and organic formation. They create a metaphor for nature's nonlinear logic, devoid of emotional imposition, manifests as pure natural law.
