The final appearance of ash glaze is influenced by various factors, including differences in regional plant compositions, the choice of plants, soil components, the method of ash firing, and the water-to-ash ratio. Consequently, each ash glaze ceramic piece exhibits ever-changing and uniquely captivating colors. **Our Plant Ash Glaze** Crafted from natural ash glaze formulated with ashes from local Taichung plants, each batch of ash glaze is produced through a complex process with limited yield. Furthermore, the use of varying plant components makes the formula irreplicable, bestowing upon the vessels captivating natural colors and textures that are wonderfully diverse. The process of creating our local ash glaze is illustrated in the diagram below: https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54023594837_cd1b56f38d_c.jpg Features - Handmade: Each piece is meticulously handcrafted, embodying the techniques and thoughtful artistry of Taiwanese ceramic creators. - Natural Ash Glaze: Formulated with ashes from local Taichung plants, it presents unique natural colors and textures. - Irreplicable: Due to variations in plant components, the glazing process is complex and production is limited, granting each vessel a one-of-a-kind texture. - Resourceful Recycling: Transforming agricultural waste into natural plant ash, reflecting our commitment to nature and environmentally conscious production.

Please consider carefully before purchasing if you seek absolute perfection. * Crazing (craquelure) on the ceramic surface is a natural phenomenon resulting from the differing shrinkage rates of the clay and glaze; it is not a product defect or crack. * Dimensions are measured by hand and may have slight discrepancies (±0.3 cm). * All vessels are fired at high temperatures and are safe for use. * The vessels are photographed in kind. Slight color variations may occur due to differences in lighting and angles during the photoshoot. Care Instructions ◎ Please avoid using abrasive cleaning tools such as metal scrubbers, as they may scratch the glaze and diminish its surface luster. ◎ Avoid prolonged soaking in dirty water to prevent dirt from accumulating in the glaze cracks. ◎ Ensure the vessel is completely dry before storing.
