Made to Order · Brooklyn, New York
Custom Clay Pot
Growing up Cantonese, claypot rice was a constant — rice, lap cheong, chicken, a dark pour of soy sauce, cooked together over high heat until the bottom crust crackled. The pot did the work. That's the point of a clay pot.
What I make is a wheel-thrown stoneware vessel in the same spirit — thick walls, a domed lid, wide enough to cook for a table. Similar in form to a Japanese donabe, but the tradition I'm drawing from is 煲仔飯. Each pot is made to order in Brooklyn, glazed to your preference, and built to cook with.

Making
Once confirmed, I'll throw, trim, and glaze your piece in Brooklyn. You'll receive progress photos along the way. The full process — throwing through final firing — takes 6–8 weeks.
