Incense Ceremony Tools: Three Styles of Incense Appreciation - Works by a Taiwanese Ceramic Artist

https://youtu.be/ab0TZBiE940?si=GvLLM93bUYG1UaVl Through 72 hours of extended firing, the ceramist allows the glaze to melt at varying temperatures, forming a microcrystalline surface that reinterprets the serene aesthetics of Song Dynasty porcelain, creating new incense ware that is both classic and contemporary. 《Ceramicist - Lin Feng-Hsi》 Master ceramist Lin Feng-Hsi resides in the secluded Hualien backlands, Collaborating with nature, conversing with the heavens and earth, He infuses the essence of mountains, rivers, and seas into his creations. Witnessing the clarity of autumn waters, And beholding the richness of myriad forms, He sculpts scenes of flourishing blossoms for the discerning table. _______ Glaze Formulation Using plant ash glaze as a base, with a small amount of fine jade sand from Hualien, the glaze achieves a texture akin to white jade. Various minerals are added to produce hues of ice jade porcelain, celadon, and black jade, creating a visually transparent and colorful effect. Round Design Ingenuity The artist's inspiration stems from the vibrant visual impressions experienced during a trip to Nepal. On the pot's base, lid, and tray, underglaze colors, a technique with a long history, are applied with mineral pigments from Kyoto, Japan. The circular, accumulated glaze design at the bottom of the teacups and tea bowls presents patterns reminiscent of captured Dzi beads, adding a touch of liveliness to the quietude of the pieces. Firing Process A gas kiln is used, with firing times of approximately 72 hours. Through prolonged slow firing, a warm, delicate, and jade-like glaze surface is achieved. _______ 【Product Specifications】 Material: Gas Kiln White Porcelain Dimensions - Brazier: Diameter 7.5cm, Height 7cm Dimensions - Bottle: Diameter 3.5cm, Height 11cm Dimensions - Set: Diameter 7.5cm, Height 3cm 【Artist's Biography】 1993 Began studying ceramics 1997 Established studio - Feng Ning Kiln Ceramic Workshop Awards 2003 Yushan Ceramic Award, Ceramics Category - Honorable Mention 2004 58th Provincial Fine Arts Exhibition, Crafts Category - Selected 2005 Yushan Ceramic Award, Ceramics Category - Merit Award 2006 Golden Ceramic Award, Creative Tableware - Honorable Mention Exhibitions 2005 Solo Exhibition / Taichung City Cultural Affairs Bureau 2008 The Taste of Zen Tea / Sino-Japanese Cultural and Artistic Exhibition 2009 Leisurely Light of Summer Exhibition / Chiu Shan Tang · Taichung 2010 Leisurely Light of Summer Exhibition / Chiu Shan Tang · Taichung 2011 Leisurely Light of Summer Exhibition / Chiu Shan Tang · Taichung 2016 Radiant Colors Tea Ware Solo Exhibition / You Zai Ji · Shanghai 2017 Showered by Rain Tea Ware Solo Exhibition / Han Ren Academy · Sanyi 2018 Boundless Treasures · Wood-fired Tea Ware Exhibition / Hui Liu Tea House · Taipei 2018 Boundless Treasures · Tea Ware Creation Exhibition / Zi Ru Qing An · Taoyuan 2019 Colorless · Tea Ware Creation Exhibition / Ban Mu Yuan Zi · Zhubei 2019 Colorless · Tea Ware Creation Exhibition / Zuo Kan Yun Qi Shi · Kaohsiung 2019 Appreciate 4 · Taiwan Japan Teapot Design Exhibition / Tao Hua Zhuo 2020 Appreciate 5 · Taiwan Japan Teapot Design Exhibition / Tao Hua Zhuo 2020 Simple Questions Gengzi Artifact Exhibition / Ban Mu Yuan Zi · Zhubei 2020 Simple Questions Gengzi Artifact Exhibition / Yuan Ming Tang · Yingge 2021 Clarity · Wood-fired Tea Ware Exhibition / Online Exhibition 2022 Abundance · Wood-fired Tea Ware Exhibition / Ban Mu Yuan Zi · Zhubei 2023 Nothing to Do · Wood-fired Tea Ware Exhibition / Chiu Shan Tang · Taichung 2024 Qing An · White Porcelain Tea Ware Exhibition / Han Ren Academy · Sanyi
