Light Grey Bowl 1

**Light Grey Bowl 1** **What is Ash Glaze?** Ash glaze, the earliest high-temperature glaze in the East, is derived from plant ashes. Variations in the final appearance of ash glaze are determined by numerous factors, including regional differences in plant composition, the choice of plants, soil composition, the method of ash firing, and the water-to-ash ratio. Consequently, each ash-glazed ceramic piece exhibits a unique and captivating range of colors. **Our Plant Ash Glaze** Our natural ash glaze is formulated from the ashes of locally sourced plants in Taichung. Each batch of ash glaze involves a complex and low-yield process. Coupled with the fact that the specific plant ingredients vary and the formula cannot be replicated, this imbues our pieces with a diverse array of captivating natural colors and textures. The process for creating our local ash glaze is illustrated in the diagram below: https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54023594837_cd1b56f38d_c.jpg **Light Grey Bowl 1** Dimensions: Approximately 12.9 cm (L) x 12.9 cm (W) x 7.5 cm (H) Material: Clay Plant Ash Glaze: Loquat Tree Ash Firing Temperature: 1230°C Firing Atmosphere: Reduction Firing **Light Grey Bowl 2** Dimensions: Approximately 13.8 cm (L) x 13.7 cm (W) x 7.9 cm (H) Material: Clay Plant Ash Glaze: Loquat Tree Ash Firing Temperature: 1230°C Firing Atmosphere: Reduction Firing Product Features - Handmade: Each piece is meticulously crafted by hand, embodying the skill and thoughtful artistry of Taiwanese ceramic creators. - Natural Ash Glaze: Formulated from local Taichung plant ashes, it presents unique natural colors and textures. - Irreplicable: Due to variations in plant composition, the glazing process is complex and production is limited, bestowing each piece with a one-of-a-kind texture. - Resource Upcycling: Transforming agricultural waste into natural plant ash, reflecting our commitment to nature and sustainable crafting principles.

Please consider carefully before purchasing if you seek absolute perfection. * Crazing (crackle glaze) on the ceramic surface is a natural phenomenon resulting from the differential shrinkage rates of the clay and glaze; it 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 items are photographed in kind. Due to variations in lighting and angles during photography, slight color differences may occur. Care Instructions ◎ Please avoid using abrasive cleaning tools such as metal brushes, as they may scratch the glaze and diminish its luster. ◎ Avoid prolonged soaking in dirty water to prevent stains from accumulating in the cracks. ◎ Ensure the vessel is completely dry before storing it.
