The final effect of ash glaze is determined by various factors such as differences in plant composition across regions, plant selection, soil composition, ash firing methods, and water-to-ash ratios. Consequently, each ash-glazed pottery piece exhibits ever-changing and unique captivating colors. **Our Plant Ash Glaze** This natural ash glaze is formulated using ashes from local Taichung plants. The intricate production process for each batch yields limited quantities. Furthermore, the use of different plant ingredients makes the formula unrepeatable, bestowing each piece with a diverse and captivating natural color and texture. The process of creating our local ash glaze is shown in the diagram below: https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54023594837_cd1b56f38d_c.jpg Product Features - Handmade: Each piece is entirely handmade, embodying the skill and thoughtful craftsmanship of Taiwanese ceramic artists. - Natural Ash Glaze: Formulated with ash from local Taichung plants, it presents unique natural colors and textures. - Irreplicable: Due to variations in plant ingredients, the glaze production process is complex and output is limited, giving each piece a unique texture. - Resourceful Reuse: Transforms agricultural waste into natural plant ash, reflecting our production philosophy of harmony with nature and environmental consciousness.

Slight imperfections or variations in glaze application are normal and contribute to the uniqueness and aesthetic appeal of the piece. Please consider carefully before purchasing if you seek absolute perfection. * Crazing (surface cracks) on ceramic surfaces is a natural phenomenon resulting from differing shrinkage rates between the clay and glaze, and does not indicate a product defect or crack. * Dimensions are measured by hand and may have slight discrepancies (±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 photography, there may be slight color differences. Precautions ◎ Please refrain from using abrasive cleaning tools such as metal brushes, as they may scratch the glaze and diminish its surface luster. ◎ Avoid prolonged soaking in dirty water to prevent grime from accumulating in the crackle lines. ◎ Ensure the vessel is completely dry before storing.
