Yulin – The Language of Form and Fire

Born of the ancient soils of Jingdezhen, Yulin’s artistic evolution began with the delicate precision of overglaze and underglaze painting. However, it was in the tactile world of sculpture that he found his true resonance. For Yulin, clay and glaze are more than materials; they are a language—a dialogue between texture, form, and the transformative power of the kiln. His signature style emerged from hand-sculpted fish — vessels of innocence and emotion that shimmer with experimental color. This foundation has evolved into a distinctive collection of tea ware characterized by complex, layered glazes and high-temperature transformations. Each piece feels alive, designed to fit the hand with organic grace and intentionality.In an exclusive partnership with GLAZARA, Yulin produces rare, small-batch collections available only through our house. Eschewing the uniformity of mass production, his work celebrates the "quiet strength of difference," where every vessel holds its own unique soul, purpose, and beauty.

Xiao Qian - The Fusion of Lacquer & Clay

Based in the porcelain capital of Jingdezhen, artisan Xiao Qian specializes in the rare fusion of thousand-year-old natural lacquer (Daqi) and contemporary ceramic aesthetics. Xiao Qian uses elegant porcelain forms — gaiwans, teacups, and trays — as a canvas for his artistry. Through the meticulous, traditional technique of layering natural tree sap and hand-polishing, he creates unique, tactile textures that cannot be replicated. Driven by the belief that every object has its own soul, Xiao Qian ensures that no two pieces are identical. These are not merely functional tea wares, but "touchable art." As natural lacquer interacts with the environment and the user over time, the surface grows more lustrous and warm, recording the quiet, shared moments of a lifetime of tea rituals. (Lacquerware is a protected Chinese Intangible Cultural Heritage. The medium is a natural resin harvested by hand from the lacquer tree.)

Xincheng - A Collaboration with The Pomegranate Collection

For the Pomegranate Gold-painted Collection, GLAZARA is honored to collaborate with Xincheng, an artisan whose poetic approach to ceramics mirrors our own pursuit of soul-led craftsmanship. To Xincheng, a vessel is an "image made tangible" — a physical expression of stillness and intention.In this limited-edition series, Xincheng hand-paints each pomegranate motif with meticulous brushwork, invoking the traditional symbolism of abundance and blessing. The artistry culminates in the application of genuine 24k gold. This demanding process requires an intimate mastery of heat and glaze chemistry; the gold is hand-applied and re-fired to fuse permanently with the surface. The result is a soft, luminous glow — a festive yet timeless elegance that invites a slower, more refined tea ritual.

A Shi – Symbiosis with Nature

Born in 1995 in the historic city of Xi’an, A Shi is a graduate of the prestigious Xi’an Academy of Fine Arts. Following her academic journey, she relocated to the porcelain capital of Jingdezhen, where she has since established a multidisciplinary practice that seamlessly bridges the worlds of painting and ceramic artistry. A Shi’s work is defined by a spirit of absolute creative freedom. Drawing deep inspiration from the organic world, she frequently incorporates botanical and entomological elements — plants and insects — into her designs. For A Shi, these are not merely decorative motifs; they represent a shared journey of existence. She describes her creative process as a symbiotic evolution, feeling as though she is "growing alongside the plants" she depicts.Through her free-spirited approach to clay and ink, A Shi captures the quiet vitality of nature, transforming traditional porcelain into a living canvas of growth and discovery.

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.
