PORCELAIN BANDO DINNERWARE
NEW IN
This collection, modeled after disposable tableware used across Taiwan at roadside banquets (辦桌 bando in Taiwanese), preserves shared memories of conviviality into a new form, meant to last.
By trading in disposable plastic for reusable porcelain, Anta Pottery and RE:LAB intend to “preserve the shape of Taiwanese culture.”

ANTA POTTERY
MEET THE ARTISANS
Founded in 1976, Anta Pottery is a family-owned pottery studio based in Yingge, the ceramics capital of Taiwan. Though they got their start crafting ceramic Buddhist statues, they later pivoted to tableware, applying traditional glazing techniques to the scaled production of tea sets, dishes, and other serve ware. Today, Anta is run by the second generation sisters Sun Zhu-Yi 孫筑怡, Sun Ruo-Ping 孫若屏, and Sun Ying-Xin 孫盈馨.
