JHA Porcelain di Jacqueline Harberink
JHA Porcelain – Timeless Handcrafted Porcelain from Florence
Jacqueline Harberink, a Dutch ceramic artist, specializes in handcrafted porcelain objects that embody timeless design. In 2021, she founded JHA Porcelain and established her atelier and shop in the historic Santa Croce district of Florence. This multifunctional space serves as a creative studio, gallery, and workshop, where Jacqueline crafts, displays, and sells her unique creations while also offering ceramic courses and workshops to share her passion and expertise.

From lacquered finishes to the delicate rice-grain style and the intricate art of nerikomi, Jacqueline’s work merges Nordic minimalism with inspiration drawn from organic forms in nature and architectural patterns. The tactile surfaces of her creations invite interaction, turning every object into a sensory experience.
