Ceramic artist, Ka Kwong Hui immigrated from China to the United States in 1948. He was a beloved ceramic teacher at Rutgers University's Mason Gross School of the Arts in New Jersey. Synthesizing Chinese, Tibetan, and American art traditions in his own work, the ceramicist's oeuvre caught the eye of Roy Lichtenstein in the 1960s. Both artists met at Rutgers, and the two would go on to collaborate on a line of ceramic tableware.

In 1997, Hui was honored as a Fellow by the American Craft Council (ACC) and his work can be found in public museum collections including Brooklyn Museum, Everson Museum of Art, Syracuse, The Newark Museum of Art, the Alfred Ceramic Art Museum, and the Museum of Arts and Design, New York.

Good estate condition.
