Light Grey Loquat Ash Small Tea Caddy

**Light Grey Loquat Ash Small Tea Caddy** **What is Ash Glaze?** Ash glaze is one of the earliest high-temperature glazes in the East, derived from plant ashes. The final effect of ash glaze is determined by various factors such as differences in plant composition across regions, the choice of plants, soil components, the firing method of the ash, and the water-to-ash ratio. Consequently, every piece of ash-glazed pottery exhibits ever-changing and unique captivating colors. **Our Plant Ash Glaze** Our natural ash glaze is formulated from the ashes of local Taichung plants. Each batch of ash glaze involves a complex process with limited yield. Furthermore, the varying composition of the selected plants makes the formula irreproducible, bestowing upon the vessels ever-changing, enchanting natural colors and textures. The process of creating our local ash glaze is illustrated in the diagram below: https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54023594837_cd1b56f38d_c.jpg **Light Grey Loquat Ash Small Tea Caddy** Dimensions: Approximately 6.1 cm (L) x 6.1 cm (W) x 7.5 cm (H) Material: Clay Plant Ash Glaze: Loquat Tree Ash Firing Temperature: 1230°C Firing Atmosphere: Reduction Firing Product Features - Handmade: Each piece is purely handmade, embodying the techniques and thoughtful creativity of Taiwanese ceramic artists. - Natural Ash Glaze: Formulated from local Taichung plant ashes, it displays unique natural colors and textures. - Irreplicable: Due to variations in plant composition, the glaze-making process is complex and production is limited, imbuing each vessel with a one-of-a-kind texture. - Resource Recycling: Transforms agricultural waste into natural plant ash, reflecting our commitment to nature and environmental consciousness in our production philosophy.

Please consider carefully before purchasing if you seek absolute perfection. * Crazing (crackle) on the ceramic surface is a natural phenomenon resulting from differences in the contraction rates of the clay and 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 vessels are photographed in kind. Due to variations in lighting and angles during the shooting process, slight color differences may occur. Precautions ◎ Please avoid using hard cleaning tools such as metal brushes, as they may scratch the glaze and diminish its surface luster. ◎ Please do not soak for extended periods in dirty water to prevent grime from accumulating in the cracks. ◎ Ensure the vessel is completely dry before storing it.
