鶯歌陶師王漢騰在學藝之後，曾在各地陶瓷廠工作。1946年左右在鶯歌 先後與人合資創立義成與合興兩家陶器工廠，生產傳統陶器。1963年左右離 開鶯歌，先後到苗栗、大甲東與水里等地當陶師，指導現代製陶技術，延續 其產業生命。1969年左右回到鶯歌，生產花盆等產品。1981年與親友合資， 成立臺華陶瓷公司，生產仿古陶瓷。王漢騰經營臺華期間，到南投水里聘請 陶師後，許多南投陶師紛紛來到鶯歌發展。此舉支持了鶯歌大型仿古陶瓷的 發展，卻也加速水里陶瓷的沒落。一介平凡的陶師竟能對地方產業的興衰產 生關鍵性的影響，王漢騰實為臺灣陶瓷史上的傳奇人物。

Han–Teng Wang‚ a ceramic master‚ had worked on several potteries around Taiwan after his apprentice training. About 1946‚ he established Yi–Chen Pottery and He–Xing Pottery with some of his friends and relatives in Ying–Ge‚ producing traditional earthenware. About 1963‚ he left Ying–Ge and went to Miau–Li‚ Da– Jia–Dung‚ and Sue–Li‚ all in Central Taiwan‚ as a master worker. In those places he taught modern ceramic techniques for many potteries. These techniques rescued the traditional pottery in those regions from the fate of decline. He returned to Ying–Ge in 1981 and founded another ceramic factory‚ Tai–Hua Ceramic Company‚ producing antique ceramics. In order to make large–scale vases‚ Wang went to Sue–Li‚ in Nan–Tou County‚ for the second time‚ and invited some of the local master workers to Tai–Hua. From then on‚ a lot of Nan–Tou master workers continuously went to Ying–Ge and supported the development of the local antique ceramics. Due to the lack of excellent master workers‚ Sue–Li pottery industry became declined and finally fell rapidly. A common master worker could cause the rising and falling of the local ceramic industry‚ Wang was certainly an amazing legend in the history of Taiwan ceramics.
