Hand-fired | Shimmering & Mottled Firewood Ceramic Mug | Home Decor | Housewarming Gift

Color: Natural Ash Glaze; Bright Golden Hues Wood-fired ceramics are created by firing at temperatures exceeding 1200°C, melting the wood ash. This completely combusted ash, incredibly light, drifts with the heat currents to settle on the pieces. This ash acts as the glaze itself. Trace elements within the wood ash, such as potassium, sodium, silicon, and calcium, undergo a chemical reaction with the clay body, resulting in a spectrum of colors. This glazing technique is known as "natural ash glaze." At first glance, the natural ash glaze might seem understated, but its true charm lies in its enduring beauty, revealing more character with each viewing. Under gentle firing conditions, each piece develops iridescent colors and unique speckled textures on its surface. During the high-temperature firing process of ceramic products, phenomena like sand specks, pinholes, running glaze, and kiln cracks are inevitable, especially with earthenware. However, these characteristics contribute to the rustic charm of pottery, offering a distinct aesthetic from the refined finish of porcelain. These are all normal occurrences. Perfect for everyday use, or as a thoughtful gift for housewarmings and Lunar New Year, these pieces make for exquisite and distinguished presents. They are ideal not only for enjoying tea but also as decorative items to enhance your home's ambiance. ------------------------ Base Diameter: 7 cm Width (including handle): 10.5 cm Height: 6 cm Capacity: 150 c.c. ------------------------ !As each design is a unique creation, it will not be available once sold! !Ceramics are fragile items; we ensure robust packaging.
