Loquat Ash Small Square Plate

**Loquat Ash Small Square Plate** **What is Ash Glaze?** Ash glaze is one of the earliest high-temperature glazes in the Eastern world, derived from plant ashes. Variations in plant composition across different regions, along with factors such as plant selection, soil components, ash firing methods, and water-to-ash ratios, all contribute to the final effect of the ash glaze. Consequently, each ash-glazed ceramic piece displays a unique and captivating array of colors. **Our Plant Ash Glaze** This natural ash glaze is formulated from the ashes of local plants in Taichung. Each batch of ash glaze is complex to produce and yields only scarce quantities. Furthermore, the inability to replicate the exact formula due to varying plant components imbues each piece with a captivating, 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 **Loquat Ash Small Square Plate** Dimensions: Approx.

Product Design/Manufactured in - Taichung Plant Ash Glaze Produced/Manufactured in - Taichung Gentle Reminders * As each vessel is handmade, minor irregularities or uneven glaze application are normal and contribute to the uniqueness and aesthetic of the piece. Please consider carefully before purchasing if you seek absolute perfection. * Crazing (cracks) 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 vessels are fired at high temperatures and are safe for use. * The vessels are photographed in kind; slight color differences may occur due to variations in lighting and angles during photography. Precautions ◎ Please avoid using abrasive cleaning tools such as metal brushes, as they may scratch the glaze and diminish its luster. ◎ Please refrain from prolonged soaking in dirty water to prevent stains from accumulating in the crackle gaps. ◎ Ensure the vessel is completely dry before storing it.
