Believe it or not, there are some things out there the Chinese haven't copied. It's a moving target, though, so I'm trying to present the best in creative art and functional pieces as I find them. What's mostly ripped-off are those pieces that appeal to a mass-market, and I don't think you're a member! So, I'm pretty sure you're going to like what you see. (BTW, we used to call it "pottery" before the word became associated with child labor in third world countries working 12 hour days.)
