The wood-fired porcelain clay is heavy with dust and the teapot is being placed / Handmade by Xiao Pingfan

The work that came out of the kiln this time is so beautiful. I want to share this clay and firewood teapot with you ❤️ This teapot made of twisted clay and firewood has casual but organized lines. The interlaced textures of deep and light are like the ups and downs of life, reminding us of Lao Tzu's thinking, in which imperfection breeds true perfection. The celadon that is naturally formed by firewood is ashes, and is full of traces of years of baptism. The creative process often requires the courage to "know that something cannot be done, but do it." It is a silent power hidden in the ordinary. The simple pot body is like a still water, which represents the depth and tranquility of life. The fallen ash and every trace of firewood are the marks of life where fire and earth blend. I have been admiring this pot for a long time and couldn't put it down. Holding it gives me a sense of calmness and calmness. I feel that every cup of tea infuses not only the aroma, but also an attitude of reconciliation with life😄 Capacity: 220cc The works of Xiao Ping Ping Tao Fang do not pursue mass production. Each creative product has a unique design. The pure hand-kneading or drawing process brings life to the work. Each work is unique. The works in the Taofang are all created by us as husband and wife, so they are signed "Ping" or "Sail", and large pieces are signed "Little Ordinary Taofang", which is unique!! https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51567264550_68d52fdae8_b.jpg **1. What is the origin of the work?** We mostly use American soil, Japanese soil, and Taiwan Miaoli soil for our creations. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51565549867_2d00e9c5fb_b.jpg **2. What is the wood-fired process?** American soil, Japanese soil, and Miaoli soil are kneaded in different proportions. The production process is purely hand-kneading (not a drawing machine) and slowly formed. After the basic shape, the lines of the embryo body are trimmed, and then polished to complete the preliminary embryo. After entering the kiln, the firewood of natural longan wood and acacia wood is burned continuously for five days and four nights. The temperature rises to more than 1,200 degrees. During this period, the natural ash will adhere to the work, forming a special ash glaze. ; At the same time, the fire patterns in the kiln will also flow between the works, forming beautiful orange-red or blue-purple fire pattern traces. After five days and four nights of falling ashes and intertwined fire patterns, it still takes a week to cool down before the beautiful appearance of a piece of work can be achieved! Every piece is unique! The high-temperature firing using traditional wood-fired methods gives the product a far-infrared effect, making it perfect for making tea! https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51566330016_d46035182e_b.jpg **3. What should VIPs pay attention to?** The color of the product may be slightly different due to the lighting source of the photography. The work is purely handmade and will definitely leave traces of the texture. The work may also have slight gaps due to the firing process, uneven edges or slight production scratches, etc. This is a normal phenomenon and can definitely be used normally. Please understand!
