He Zhiyin 何志银
Founder of Tianfu Lulong Kiln (天福绿龙窑)

- First officially appointed National Ceremonial Gift Artist for Jian Zhan

Born in Jianyang, Fujian, He Zhiyin was immersed in the world of Jian ware from a young age. He began with collecting and researching ceramics before devoting himself to full-time craftsmanship. Over the years, he has developed firing techniques that produce rich glazes, layered crystalline effects, and a strong visual presence.
His works have been featured in exhibitions, collected by museums, and selected for official state gifting. In 2021, one of his teacups was chosen as a national ceremonial gift. His personal glaze style often draws on natural elements such as mist, flowing water, and mountain scenes, while remaining grounded in the classical forms of Jian ware.
His signature mark 志银作 and the studio logo of Tianfu Lulong Kiln appear on the base of his authentic pieces.
