ABOUT ANTA POTTERY
FROM BUDDHIST ICONS TO TABLEWARE
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, the studio later pivoted to tableware, applying traditional glazing techniques to the high-volume production of tea sets, dishes, and other serve ware. Today, Anta is run by the second generation sisters Sun Ying-Xin 孫盈馨, Sun Ruo-Ping 孫若屏, and Sun Zhu-Yi 孫筑怡.
