Designer: YU NING CHIU Product size (H x W): 4.4cm x 5.2cm Material: Porcelain Packing: gift box, warranty card Awards 2017 China Original Design Award judges’ list award 2018 Yingge Wares qualifying quality products 2018 Taiwan Craft Competition honorable mention 2019 The Chinese Design Award judges’ list award This work is made of four to five different glaze and stacked together, by glazing thickness on each layer, and kiln firing to 1260°C, after 20 hours of intense fire quenching, let it shrink and flow in the kiln, speckles and flows that produce peacock feathers. The difficulty of firing is the thickness of each layer of glazing and the adjustment of the temperature curve, if the glaze is too thin or the temperature is not enough, it will not produce like a peacock flaunting its tail. Too thick or too hot will cause the glaze to flow on to the board, make the tea cup and the board destroyed together, temperature will also affect the effect of burning. Many factors influenced it, even after years of research, it is impossible to pinch it changes accurately, but because of this, it can show the preciousness of the complete works. I hope that through the works, I encourage everyone to have any hopes and hope, continuous efforts, one day, like a peacock, beautiful feathers will blossom.
