What is FRANZ Collection and what do they produce?

FRANZ Collection is a Taiwanese porcelain brand created in 2001 by designer Francis (Li-Heng) Chen. The company designs and sells sculptured porcelain that combines relief modelling with rich colour glazes. Its range includes vases, figurines, tableware, tea and coffee sets, plaques, lamps, and jewellery. The brand headquarters and design centre sit in Taipei, while production takes place mainly in mainland China, including Jingdezhen and other ceramic hubs. FRANZ ships worldwide and has thousands of retail points across Asia, Europe, the Middle East, and North America. The style blends Chinese decorative traditions, Art Nouveau curves, and nature themes such as flowers, butterflies, birds, and marine life. Many pieces stand out through three-dimensional motifs that rise from the surface, giving a sculptural feel rather than a flat print. Collectors treat the line as both functional and artistic, and the company has worked with museums and cultural institutions on special editions and exhibitions.
