Simply put, POA stands for “Price on Application”.
With some of our pieces, we prefer not to openly publish our asking price. We absolutely welcome visitors to the website to contact us to enquire about the cost of such pieces.
We just prefer to have a conversation to allow us to explain the pricing as well as to talk in more detail about the piece in question.
It doesn’t necessarily mean that it is a super expensive piece but it may just be that there is something unique or special that we would like to be able to tell you about in more detail.

Crackle glaze
Crackle glaze is a deliberate decorative effect caused by rapid cooling of a fired piece combined with a low silica glaze. It has a long history in Korean and Chinese pottery, pieces from the Chinese Song (960-1279) and Yaun (1271-1368) Dynasties are particularly sought after and notable for their use of crackle.
Dragon and Tiger (China)
The dragon and the tiger when depicted together in Chinese art represent Yin and Yang, the two forces in the universe believed to influence everything with their push and pull. The dragon, said to rule over the heavens, represents Yang and the Tiger, the mightiest of beasts is Yin.
