JL Ceramics

Our teaware brings together traditional ceramic craftsmanship and contemporary design. Every piece is thoughtfully made using time-honoured techniques while embracing modern forms, carved textures, and carefully developed glaze combinations that make each object unique.

Products at the festival

JL Ceramics creates handmade ceramic drinkware and tableware. For the Amsterdam Tea Festival, we’ll bring a carefully curated collection of teaware, including gaiwans, kyusu, chawans, teacups, and other functional pieces designed to elevate the tea experience.

Our mission

JL Ceramics was born from a desire to combine a background in graphic design with a love for ceramics. Our mission is to create functional objects that honour traditional craftsmanship while exploring contemporary design, encouraging people to slow down and appreciate the rituals of everyday life.

About the brand

At JL Ceramics, we create handmade ceramics where traditional craftsmanship meets contemporary design. During the Amsterdam Tea Festival, we’ll be showcasing a carefully curated collection of teaware, including gaiwans, kyusu, chawans, teacups, and other functional pieces made to enrich the ritual of tea.

What started as a fascination with clay has grown into a passion for creating objects that invite people to slow down and enjoy everyday moments. Inspired by a background in graphic design, we combine age-old ceramic techniques with modern forms, carved textures, and thoughtfully developed glaze combinations to create pieces that are both functional and distinctive.

Whether you’re an experienced tea enthusiast or just beginning your journey, we’d love to welcome you to our booth, share our process, and help you find a piece you’ll enjoy using for years to come.
