About Us
WE ARE POTARI
By Hand, By Artists
We share ceramics that speak—bold, rebellious, and rooted in artistry. Each piece is handmade by independent artisans, whose work is rarely seen beyond their local communities.
By offering their craftsmanship at fair prices, we make artistry more accessible and bring beauty, texture, and soul into the rituals of daily life.
RUN BY CREATIVES FOR CREATIVES
Hands Behind the Craft
Run by creatives for creatives, we support independent artists worldwide—both emerging and established.
While not confined to any particular style, we focus on artistic excellence, unique color palettes, and masterful craftsmanship. We seek pieces that convey distinct artistic concepts through their craft language.

Zhuchen
Zhuchen is one of the world’s leading Jiaotai(aka. Neriage) artists. He has spent decades studying and reviving the marbled pottery technique of the Tang Dynasty, which dates back to the 8th century (ca. 700s AD) and is also known as Jiaotai.
The Jiaotai method combines two or more types of clay to create intricate designs, resulting in patterns that are similar but never identical. The motifs flow continuously from the inside out, forming a distinctive layered texture that defines the art form.
Marsel
A former senior media professional who worked with lifestyle outlets such as GQ and Condé Nast Traveler, he shifted his focus to artistic pursuits in 2018 and is
now based in Jingdezhen.
His work centers on geometric patterns—especially the Flower of Life, a sacred symbol made of overlapping circles that represents creation, unity, and interconnectedness. He uses high-temperature inlay glaze techniques instead of surface printing, creating pieces that are both visually striking and deeply meditative.
Cenotaph
Cenotaph draws inspiration from Brutalism, the architectural style that flourished from the 1950s to the 1970s, where exaggerated forms and geometric lines merge with raw concrete to explore the relationship between people, nature, and structure.
Working primarily with ceramics and mixed media, Cenotaph translates the stark beauty of Brutalism into tactile, sculptural forms.
Fanxi
As a tattoo artist and ceramic sculptor roaming the borderlands of the tangible and imagined, Fanxi’s works are wearable paradoxes.
Her ceramic pendants emerge where needle-sharp precision collides with clay’s primal murmur, forging a dialogue between tattoo ephemerality and ceramic permanence.
Her Ceramic Gaze Collection doesn’t adorn bodies — it armors them. To wear Fanxi’s eyes is to carry both a shield and a mirror against the world’s noise.
