Mountain Green Grey Mug

"**Mountain Green Grey Mug** **What is gray glaze?** Ash glaze is the earliest high-temperature glaze to appear in the Eastern world and is made from plant ashes. Due to the differences in plant composition in different regions, many factors such as the choice of plants, soil composition, the firing method of ash and the water-ash ratio determine the final effect of ash glaze. As a result, each piece of grey-glazed pottery presents a fascinating variety of colors that are ever-changing and unique. **Our plant glaze** The natural ash glaze is made from the ashes of local plants in Taichung. The production process of each batch of ash glaze is complicated and the output is scarce. In addition, the plant ingredients used are different and the formula cannot be replicated, giving the objects ever-changing and charming natural colors and textures. The process of making ground gray glaze is shown in the figure below: https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54023594837_cd1b56f38d_c.jpg **Mountain Green Grey Mug** Size of the work: Approximately 11.5 cm long x 8.5 cm wide x 8.5 cm high Work capacity: about 225 ml Material: Clay Plant ash glaze: grapevine ash Firing temperature: 1230℃ Firing atmosphere: reducing firing Features - Handmade: Each piece is purely handmade, embodying the skills and ingenuity of Taiwanese ceramic artists. - Natural gray glaze: Made from local plant gray in Taichung, it presents a unique natural color and texture. - Unreplicable: Due to differences in plant ingredients, the glaze production process is complicated and production is limited, giving each object a unique texture. - Resource recycling: Converting agricultural waste into natural plant ash, showing our production concept of nature and environmental protection.

Minor unevenness or uneven glaze is normal, which also gives the ware uniqueness and beauty. If you pursue perfection, please think twice before buying. * Cracks (crazing) on the ceramic surface are a natural phenomenon caused by the different shrinkage rates of the clay and glaze, and are not product defects or cracks. * The size is measured manually, so there may be a slight error (±0.3 cm). * All utensils are fired at high temperature, please use them with confidence. * The images of the vessels are taken from real objects. Due to different lighting and angles during the shooting process, there may be slight color differences. Precautions ◎ Do not use hard cleaning tools such as metal brushes to avoid scratching the glaze and causing the surface gloss to disappear. ◎ Do not soak in dirty water for a long time to prevent dirt from accumulating in the cracks. ◎ Please make sure to completely dry the container before storing it.
