About Wood Firing 'Wood firing' is a traditional kiln method, reaching temperatures over 1200 degrees Celsius using firewood. It leaves natural 'fire marks' from the direct contact with wood fire, and the ash that falls during combustion creates warm, richly varied colors on the pieces – a realm unattainable by electric or gas kilns. Compared to standard electric or gas kilns, the entire wood firing process, from stacking the kiln, ignition, sealing, to cooling, takes approximately 8-10 days. Furthermore, the intense kiln pressure, along with factors like humidity, wood dryness, the speed of stoking, and kiln placement, can all influence the success or failure of a piece, leading to a higher damage rate. Experienced wood-firing artisans meticulously consider the kiln's airflow when stacking, planning the placement of pieces of varying sizes, estimating the upward path of the flames, the timing and type of wood and charcoal to add, and the precise heat control. Every step requires utmost focus to achieve a perfect wood-fired piece. Place of Origin: Hualien, Taiwan Notes 1. All pieces are handmade; textures and colors may vary.
