Biography

Tong Mixiong (童密雄) is a contemporary Jian Zhan maker working in Jianyang. Provincial product-quality reporting records a Tong Mixiong Jian Zhan Ceramic Studio in Jianyang and lists a product named 流星豪丝盏, providing a clear public record of his workshop practice.

Secondary lineage material identifies Tong as the son of ceramic maker Tong Likuan (童理宽) and describes the transmission of firing knowledge within the family.

Documented Works & Glazes

Fujian Ceramic Industry Association competition results list Tong Mixiong with 七彩极光盏 (“Colorful Aurora Bowl”) and 彩金-初心. Collector-market records also connect his name with 黑曜龙鳞 (“Black Dragon Scale”), a dark, scale-like contemporary glaze effect.

Recognition

In the published results of the third “Minyi Cup” Nanping ceramic creative-design competition, Tong Mixiong appears among the bronze-award recipients for both 七彩极光盏 and 彩金-初心.

Marks & Identification

Existing collector examples circulate with certificates and boxes bearing Tong Mixiong’s name. As with other contemporary Jian Zhan, a secure attribution should compare the vessel, foot, maker identification and accompanying documentation together.
