Colorfully glazed ceramics representative of the imperial kilns of various famous dynasties of China, Tsai blends the elegant rhythms of classical porcelain with a bright modern style eloquently and consequently...

Tsai is best known for his proficiency in the use of blue and white with red underglaze - a smooth, limpid, understated glaze developed and perfected in Qing Dynasty potters （1636 - 1912）.

Yet only by having precise proportions, angles, curves, thickness of clay body, and even weight can reach the perfect balance between shape and glazing. Through innumerable experiments and corrections, Tsai has made a great deal of blue and white glaze works.

Literature

"Exquisitely styled, accurately colored, classically elegant":

That is how master calligrapher Chang Ta-chien described Tsai's work.

Publications

Tsai has a special love for Song-dynasty ceramics: "Song ceramics have a noble, graceful character that demonstrate the transcendent aura of ceramics without the slightest impurities. They convey the essence of Chinese culture."

Tsai says of all the works from the past thousand years, he finds the simple yet elegant forms of Song Dynasty porcelain most attractive."I think it has much to do with my personality," he says. "I like plainness. Song-style porcelain is what I would want to use every day."
