As the Chinese saying goes, "A thousand words cannot express the depth of one’s heart". Even though we’ve worked to keep it concise, this part may still feel a little lengthy—but it’s only because there’s so much heart in it.

Born from Earth...

In the legendary town of Yixing, where the art of pottery has flourished for centuries, lies Li Ceramic—a hidden sanctuary where earth, fire, and spirit come together. Our studio hums with the rhythm of the past, yet whispers of the future. Here, clay is more than earth. It breathes. It listens. It remembers.

...Shaped by Fire

Li Ceramic was born from a longing to preserve tradition while daring to reinvent it. Founded by Li Guang Zhong and Lin Xin Zhi, dreamers with clay-streaked hands and a heart rooted in heritage, our studio weaves echoes of ancient Chinese pottery with modern sensibilities. Each piece is a bridge—between eras, between nature and home, between art and life.

✧ The Journey of Creation

  • Harvesting Earth

    Our story begins beneath the surface—where rich, untamed clay sleeps. We source it sustainably, honoring the land that gives it life. Every handful carries the weight of centuries, and with it, the promise of transformation.

  • Centering on the Wheel

    The wheel spins, and the clay yields. Slowly, it begins to rise—shaped by skilled hands and steady breaths. This is the moment where chaos finds form, and art begins to take shape.

  • Breathing Life Through Carving and Texture

    The dance of tools begins—a chisel’s scrape, a brush’s whisper. We carve patterns that echo both the natural world and urban landscapes. Each mark tells a story—a ripple in water, the veins of a leaf, the flow of silk.

  • Glazing with Nature’s Touch

    Our glazes are crafted from plant ashes and minerals, creating hues that echo mountains cloaked in mist, rivers kissed by sunlight, and skies painted by dusk. Every drop is eco-friendly.

  • The Dance of Fire

    Finally, the kiln awakens. Flames rise, shadows flicker, and clay becomes art. In this moment, the ordinary transforms into the extraordinary. No two pieces emerge the same—each carries the fingerprint of fire and time. It is an ancient alchemy, where raw earth becomes glassy, strong, and eternal. Each firing carries risk and wonder—a reminder that art is born not from control, but surrender.

A Passion Set in Stone

At Li Ceramic, we believe that true beauty isn’t flawless—it’s alive. It’s the subtle crackle of glaze, the gentle curve of a rim, the quiet story etched into each surface. We create not to impress, but to connect—to remind you of the earth beneath your feet and the history in your hands.

In a world of machines, we choose hands. In an age of speed, we choose slowness. Every vessel, cup, and sculpture we create invites you to pause—run your fingers along its curves, feel the story beneath the surface, and reconnect with something primal.

Our mission is to honor the earth while protecting it. Sustainability isn’t just a practice for us—it’s a promise. From eco-friendly materials to energy-efficient firing techniques, we create beauty without leaving harm in our wake.

Inspired by Earth, Rooted in Tradition

The soul of Li Ceramic is woven with contrasts—the past and the present, the wild and the refined, the fragile and the enduring. Our ceramics invite you to hold a piece of history in your hands—timeless, yet made for today. This is more than ceramic. It is art born of earth and fire.

It is tradition reimagined. It is a story waiting to be told—yours.
