[Mu Chun Living] 300ml Hand-Thrown Rice Bowl / Soup Bowl by Slow Fire Elegant Style Pottery, Hsu Ting-Chia Life Pottery

→ About the Artist I've known Teacher Hsu for about eight or nine years. I remember when he first walked into my café, a youthful innocence still evident on his face – a truly fine young man. Our relationship evolved from a stranger, to a regular, and then to a friend. I’ve also watched him grow from student to teacher. I attended his graduation exhibition at Bopiliao Historical Block, and it was truly remarkable! Even now, the background image on my phone is that whale. If you have the chance, you must visit Yilan to see his ceramic whale sculpture in person. It's incredibly lifelike, and the work expresses his concern for environmental ecology and his personal journey of growth. The island of Taiwan carried on its back signifies his hopes and frustrations for this land. So many of his thoughts and spirit are presented in that series of works; it’s truly exceptional. Each piece is a labor of love from the artist. From the glaze to the form, every detail is the result of careful consideration. And practicality is an element Teacher Hsu prioritizes above all else. "Functional pottery" is a phrase that frequently comes from Teacher Hsu's lips! The bottom of each vessel features Teacher Hsu's handwritten seal, the character "嘉" (Chia) in official script. Each stroke conveys his dedication to his craft and his passion for pottery. I hope we can all continue to improve, and that the world can find peace and stability. I also hope our friends who appreciate our work will continue to support us. Let's keep moving forward together. → Product Specifications Hand-thrown Rice Bowl / Soup Bowl Capacity: Approx. 300ml Dimensions: Approx. 12x12x6.4 (Length x Width x Height in cm) → Purchase Notes * Most products in this design hall are purely handmade, and the glaze or ash-fall on each piece will vary.
