Derek Schmitz was born in Nuremberg, Germany, in 1958, and has been in the pottery/porcelain industry for over 40 years. He is the most experienced craftsman in the Art Tea Cup team.
The reason for the high price of JianZhan teacup is the long period of labor and the high destruction rate. We are destroying the failure and only putting the best perfect JianZhan on our website.
His striving personality doesn't allow him to have any tiny defects in his products. So, Derek has the highest destruction rate in Art Tea Cup, and his products are best-selling as well.
Derek's favorite works are Glacier, Copperfield, Sunset, Sunrise, Scales; Orange Coffee Cup, Raindrops Coffee Cup & Wood Coffee Cup.
