Variations in plant composition across regions, the choice of plants, soil composition, ash firing methods, and water-to-ash ratios all contribute to the final effect of the ash glaze. Consequently, each ash-glazed ceramic piece displays a captivating spectrum of unique and ever-changing colors. **Our Plant Ash Glaze** Crafted from natural ash glaze formulated with ash from local Taichung plants, each batch of glaze is produced through a complex process yielding scarce quantities. Furthermore, the varying plant ingredients mean that the formula cannot be replicated, imbuing the vessels with a diverse and enchanting array of natural colors and textures. The process of creating our local ash glaze is illustrated in the diagram below: https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54023594837_cd1b56f38d_c.jpg Product Features - Handmade: Each piece is meticulously crafted by hand, embodying the skill and thoughtful artistry of Taiwanese ceramic creators. - Natural Ash Glaze: Formulated with ash from local Taichung plants, it presents unique natural colors and textures. - Irreplicable: Due to variations in plant composition, the glaze production process is complex and limited in output, giving each vessel a one-of-a-kind texture. - Resourceful Recycling: Transforming agricultural waste into natural plant ash reflects our commitment to nature and eco-friendly production principles. Designed/Made In - Taichung Plant Ash Glaze Produced/Made In - Taichung Gentle Reminders * As each vessel is purely handmade, minor imperfections or uneven glaze application are normal, contributing to the piece's uniqueness and aesthetic appeal. Please consider carefully before purchasing if you seek absolute perfection. * The crackling (craquelure) on the ceramic surface is a natural phenomenon resulting from the differing shrinkage rates of the clay and glaze, not a product defect or crack. * Dimensions are measured by hand and may have slight variations (±0.3 cm). * All vessels are fired at high temperatures and are safe for use. * Vessels are photographed in kind. Slight color variations may occur due to differences in lighting and angles during the photoshoot. Precautions ◎ Please avoid using hard cleaning tools such as metal brushes, as they may scratch the glaze and diminish its surface luster. ◎ Do not soak for extended periods in dirty water to prevent dirt from accumulating in the crackle gaps. ◎ Ensure the vessel is completely dry before storing.
