Who it’s for: tea ceremony enthusiasts, Asian art collectors, and gift buyers who care about craftsmanship over factory output. What makes us different: • Direct sourcing from heritage craft regions (Jingdezhen, Yixing, Suzhou, etc.) • Curated catalog — each piece selected for authenticity and story, not volume • Worldwide shipping with secure checkout at handmyth.com Built by a solo founder bridging Chinese artisans and a global audience that values slow craft over fast commerce.

The curation here feels genuinely thoughtful rather than mass-produced, especially that focus on Longquan celadon with its subtle jade-like glaze that photos almost never do justice to.

Curious how you verify authenticity on pieces from artisans you've never met in person. Is there a process or a guarantee if the craftsmanship turns out to be misrepresented?

Maker

Curious how you handle authenticity verification for pieces like Suzhou embroidery or Longquan celadon, since counterfeits are so common in this space. Do you work directly with the artisan workshops or go through resellers, and how do you prove provenance to buyers outside China?

The curated stories behind each piece are such a nice touch, makes you appreciate the Longquan glaze or Suzhou stitching instead of just scrolling past.

Beautiful selection, and the detail they share about each maker really helps you trust what you're buying. The celadon piece I browsed had enough photos and history to make me actually want to own it.

The celadon vase I ordered arrived beautifully wrapped with a handwritten note from the artisan. Really love that the listing included the maker’s story and photos of the workshop, makes it feel personal rather than mass-produced.
