About the Artist: Wu Xiang 巫翔

Wu Xiang (巫翔) is the ceramic artist behind the Shuang Quan (雙全) studio, a name that evokes the pursuit of excellence in both artistry and craftsmanship. His work is rooted in traditional Jian ware techniques but pushes boundaries with innovative glazing effects and modern aesthetics.

Each piece from Wu Xiang’s studio is handcrafted and one-of-a-kind, reflecting the unpredictable beauty of high-temperature kiln transformations. A signature feature of his pieces is the flowing metal-glaze effect, which creates a dreamlike surface texture with streaks resembling natural waves or mist.

Wu’s works are created using a modern adaptation of classic Jian Zhan firing techniques. The glaze patterns form spontaneously in the kiln, giving each cup its own distinct personality. His signature mark 巫翔 and the seal 巫製手工 (Handcrafted by Wu) can be found on the base of his cups.

The accompanying certificate describes these tea bowls as possessing a “dreamlike, fairyland beauty,” with strong metallic luster and classical elegance. No two cups are alike, and each is considered a collectible piece worthy of appreciation and study.

Studio Name: 雙全 (Shuang Quan)

The name “Shuang Quan” translates roughly to “Double Perfection” — representing a harmony of both aesthetic form and technical mastery. This ideal is embodied in every piece Wu Xiang creates.
