ZenTeakraft Introduction
In the bustling city of Shenzhen, China, there are countless stories hidden among the towering buildings. My story begins with my deep love for ceramic art.
I grew up next to my family's ceramic kiln. It was a place full of quaint atmosphere. The blazing kiln fire illuminated countless nights and reflected the transformation of each work from clay to art. The family kiln has been passed down for a hundred years and is famous for its pure handmade teaware ceramics. Each work embodies the hard work and wisdom of the craftsmen, and exudes a unique charm from delicate texture to warm texture.
But as the market continues to expand, problems also arise.
The ceramic products on the market are mixed, and it is common to see fakes being passed off as real ones. High-value teaware ceramics, due to their exquisite craftsmanship and unique cultural value, have become the target of counterfeiting by criminals. When faced with these dazzling array of goods, ordinary consumers find it difficult to distinguish between the real and the fake, and often spend a lot of money to buy inferior products or even fakes.
This not only causes losses to consumers, but also seriously damages the reputation of the entire industry.
I felt helpless and sad after repeated explorations and setbacks. Ceramics that carry thousands of years of culture and traditional craftsmanship should not be overwhelmed by the chaos of the market. I longed to find a way to ensure that every piece of ceramics from our kiln can be correctly recognized, so that real art can get the respect and value it deserves.
By chance, I learned about NFT. This emerging concept is like a ray of light, illuminating my way forward.
The uniqueness and immutability of NFT made me see the possibility of solving the market chaos problem. I began to study NFT technology in depth and think about how to combine this technology with our handmade ceramics.
After countless attempts and adjustments, we finally succeeded in perfectly integrating handmade teaware ceramics with NFT technology.
After each ceramic work is completed, a unique NFT number will be generated, recording the creation process, material source, craft details and creator information of the work. When consumers buy ceramics, they will also get the corresponding NFT number. Through blockchain technology, the authenticity and uniqueness of the work can be easily verified. This innovative measure not only solves the problem of market confusion, but also injects new vitality into ceramic art.
Our ZenTeakraft brand was born for this reason, carrying the persistence of traditional craftsmanship and the exploration of future technology. Currently, there are 56 kilns cooperating with 107 craft masters, including the following styles:
Jingdezhen's blue and white exquisite, underglaze red style
Dehua's ivory white porcelain, jade glaze style
Longquan's powder green glaze, ice crack style
Yixing's purple clay, Duan clay carving style
