Silver Fold Ceramic Bowl

Handcrafted by Jingwen Wu, CH, c. 2024.

A quiet vessel for catching spontaneity and seasonal offerings. Its versatile form serves seamlessly as a centerpiece, ikebana vase, or fruit bowl. The interior silver glaze will mellow to a soft gold over time, a change that can be gently reversed if desired (see care instructions). The exterior metal glaze can mellow into a black-bronze-like texture with heat (e.g., candlelight).

Based in Jingdezhen, Jingwen Wu creates fluid and organic works that blend function with an artistic dialogue. Preferring versatile forms that inspire new interactions and natural finishes that evolve gracefully, Wu’s work embodies a poetic approach to everyday objects. Each piece reflects a harmonious lifestyle, where craftsmanship meets subtlety.

“I wish to see new lives animate from the vessels I make.”

Jingwen Wu’s ceramic studio is based in Jingdezhen, the porcelain capital of China. Her practice involves crafting vessels fluid and organic in nature, disinclined to predefine their purposes or forms. These creations find their place as vases, tea tools, tableware, or accents, guided by the vision of their artistic beholder. Infused with poetic humility and enriched by her background in animation, her work catches onto moments and resonates with subtlety and depth.

For Wu, the act of creation is a course of dialogue unfolded between layering and gravity, glazing and the raw clay, human insight and natural existence. Her perceptive approach results in forms that strike a balance between structure and fluidity, realizing a negative space for interpretation and imagination.
