The subtle variations in plant composition across different regions, coupled with factors like plant selection, soil composition, ash firing methods, and water-to-ash ratios, all contribute to the final aesthetic of the ash glaze. Consequently, each piece of ash-glazed pottery exhibits a wonderfully diverse and unique charm. **Our Plant Ash Glaze** Crafted from natural ash glaze formulated with plant ashes from Taichung, each batch of our glaze is complex to produce and yields limited quantities. As the specific plant ingredients vary, making the recipe irreproducible, it imbues each vessel with ever-changing, captivating natural colors and textures.

Please consider carefully before purchasing if you seek absolute perfection. * Crazing on the ceramic surface is a natural phenomenon resulting from differential shrinkage between the clay body and the glaze, and is 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. * The pieces are photographed in kind. Slight color discrepancies may occur due to variations in lighting and angles during the photoshoot. Precautions ◎ 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 stains from accumulating in the micro-cracks. ◎ Ensure the vessels are completely dry before storing them.
