Selected Commissions
A LaQue, the first Filipino-founded wines rom Canada, commissioned 80 Terroir Ceramics for a one-night-only dinner between Chef Joaquin Carsi Cruz of UNA in La Union and Vancouver-based Chef Mark Singson, finalist of Top Chef Canada Season 6. Each guest handpicked their own glass to taste Golden Hour and Citrus Vibe wines and took home the ceramics to remember the night.

A LaQue (2026)
Jose Solon Perfecto kneads and prepares wild clay for a commission of 80 glasses for A LaQue’s event at UNA in La Union called “Four Hands, Four Stories.”
Atis (2026)
Atis is a direct commission from a collector whose grandparents are from Lobo, Batangas (also known as the Atis capital of the Philippines). Jose Solon Perfecto went to the coastal town and collected sand and mountainside clay, which he used to create an abstract expression of the fruit, along with its seeds, to represent family ties and the generations that come after. Solon Perfecto, who had been creating his Nocturne en bleu sculptures during this time (also about dreams of his grandmother’s hometown and relatives from Cebu), used the same deep cobalt blue glaze with celadon and sea shells for this installation.
Guava Smells (2026)
Jose Solon Perfecto shares, “This collection of scent boxes commissioned by Guava Smells sits right smack in the middle of the universe of my work. The bisqued and porous hollow ball of clay held inside the box, is a passive aroma diffuser. I’m quite happy with the balance between the simplicity of the design, and the complexity of the process behind the organic materials used for this project. I wanted to recreate nature as it would be found— untouched, and beautiful on its own.”

Tennis Ceramics (2025 - 2026)
Perfecto Deli, with both Jose and Aussy having found a love for tennis, has sponsored a number of trophies for tennis tournaments in Manila and La Union, including TennEast Academy, PAOwer Tennis, Natalna Tennis Open, and Game Na Tennis Club.
Flow (2025)
Just as waters flow from the river to the sea, the cobalt blue glaze on the rim meets the celadon and sand of these bowls. The vessels figure into chef Kevin Uy’s cross-cultural menu at his fine dining concept, FLOW. In these photos (by Jar Concengco), the ‘River’ dish features the creamy ulang chupe de camarones.

Hapag & Aya (2023-present)
“‘Every piece should tell a story’—this was our goal,” writes Hapag. “We always envisioned Hapag to be a space for all things Filipino, beyond food and dining…. This is why we are especially proud to be working with homegrown talents. One such talent is Jose Solon Perfecto, a La Union-based pottery artist and champion for terroir ceramics. From our stoneware jugs to our ash-based celadon tableware, every piece is a nod to Filipino table culture. They are tangible and visual representations of the many rules, spoken or unspoken, that define the way we break bread.”
