Pure Pottery - Wood-Fired Raw Ore Carved Cup

Crafted from high-iron clay without glaze, this piece was fired in a wood kiln at high temperatures for four days and three nights. The hand-carved form captures the natural ash glaze that settled during firing, creating an interplay of metallic hues – cyan, iron black, copper red, and starlight gold – revealing the mysterious layers of transformation brought by the kiln fire. The contrast between the side facing the flames and the side shielded from them enhances the visual richness, beautifully complementing the unique three-dimensional shape achieved through manual carving. A truly collectible piece. ∷ Artist: Chang Chih-Chi ∷ Dimensions: Diameter 7.6cm * Height 7.2cm Capacity 180ml ∷ Material: Raw Ore Clay ...Purchase Information... .Ceramic pieces naturally develop glaze patterns, pores, particles, colorations, and textural variations during the firing process.
