White Snow Ink Grey Bowl

**White Snow Ink Grey Bowl** **What is Ash Glaze?** Ash glaze, the earliest high-temperature glaze in the Eastern world, is derived from plant ashes. The final effect of ash glaze is determined by various factors such as the differences in plant composition across regions, the selection of plants, soil composition, the firing method of the ash, and the water-to-ash ratio. Consequently, each ash-glazed ceramic piece exhibits a unique and captivating array of colors. **Our Plant Ash Glaze** This natural ash glaze, formulated from plant ashes sourced locally in Taichung, undergoes a complex and low-yield production process. The inability to replicate the formula due to variations in plant composition imbues each piece with a captivating and ever-changing natural color and texture. The process of creating our local ash glaze is illustrated in the diagram below: https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54023594837_cd1b56f38d_c.jpg **White Snow Ink Grey Bowl 1** Dimensions: Approximately 12.7 x 12.7 x 7 cm (L x W x H) Material: Porcelain clay Plant Ash Glaze: Grapevine ash Firing Temperature: 1230°C Firing Atmosphere: Reduction firing **White Snow Ink Grey Bowl 2** Dimensions: Approximately 12.5 x 12.5 x 6.8 cm (L x W x H) Material: Porcelain clay Plant Ash Glaze: Grapevine ash Firing Temperature: 1230°C Firing Atmosphere: Reduction firing Product Features - Handmade: Each piece is meticulously handcrafted, embodying the skill and thoughtful artistry of Taiwanese ceramic creators. - Natural Ash Glaze: Formulated with local Taichung plant ash, it presents a unique natural color and texture. - Irreplicable: Due to variations in plant composition, the glaze production process is complex and yields are limited, giving each piece a unique texture. - Resourceful Upcycling: Transforming agricultural waste into natural plant ash reflects our commitment to nature and environmentally conscious production.

Please consider carefully before purchasing if you seek absolute perfection. * Crazing (crackle) on the ceramic surface is a natural phenomenon resulting from the differential shrinkage 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 ceramic pieces are fired at high temperatures and are safe for use. * The products are photographed in kind. Due to variations in lighting and angles during photography, slight color differences may occur. Precautions ◎ Please refrain from 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 crackle. ◎ Ensure the ware is completely dry before storing.
