The company
Glazes first. Then everything else.
Kelida started as a colour and glaze workshop supplying other potteries in Chaozhou. It was incorporated in 2001 and for fifteen years its business was glaze: bone-china glazes, crystal, matte, metallic and crackle finishes. In 2016 the company turned that knowledge on its own objects, took a new name and built out casting, finishing and firing under one roof.
Today the factory casts vases, candle holders, incense holders, figurines, tissue boxes and canisters for importers and retailers in North America, Europe and Asia, and exports under its own licence and its own name.
