He founded the "Zhuo Yun Yue Heng Studio," dedicated to the handcrafted creation of ceramic pieces such as tea ware, vases, and incense burners. Artistic Style and Philosophy Chen Xuan-Heng's work emphasizes the natural flow of hand movements and brushstrokes, enhanced by diverse textural decorations. The ash glaze layers formed during the wood-firing process create rich variations, showcasing a beauty that blends nature and human artistry. His "Sea Rhyme Series" tea bowls, inspired by ocean waves, capture the layers and dynamism of the sea. Beyond his ceramic creations, Chen Xuan-Heng is passionate about self-learning and playing the traditional Okinawan instrument, the "Sanshin." He frequently shares videos of himself playing and singing on social media, demonstrating his love for Okinawan music.

Not suitable for ovens, microwaves, or dishwashers.** **2. Do not use steel wool or abrasive scrubbers to clean, as this may scratch the ceramic glaze. Please use a soft cloth or sponge.** **1. Some products are hand-glazed, and the glaze color varies due to the depth of the glaze material.** **2. Some items are handmade, so sizes may not be perfectly uniform like mass-produced items. Wood-fired pieces may occasionally have marks from glaze drips that have been polished or repaired; these will be clearly indicated in the product photos and descriptions. We kindly ask that those who seek absolute perfection refrain from purchasing, and instead consider ordering if you can appreciate and accept the characteristics of handmade items.** **3. Due to the mineral content in ceramics, minor imperfections such as small pits, air bubbles, or small iron spots may appear. These are natural phenomena resulting from firing at high temperatures.** **4. Due to color variations on consumer 3C screens and natural changes during the firing process, there may be slight color differences between the products listed on this website and the actual items received. The color of the delivered item will be considered the primary reference.** **Designed and handcrafted by Taiwanese artisans or commissioned for mass production**
