Each piece is uniquely designed and inspired, brought to life through the hand-kneading or throwing process. Each piece is truly one-of-a-kind. Our works are created by our husband and wife, hence the signatures "Ping" or "Fan." Some pieces also feature the "Xiao Pingfan Pottery" stamp, making them truly 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 Taiwanese Miaoli soil for our creations. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51567015014_0b15931da0_c.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51565549942_7663197885_h.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51567015039_4c2a9b80e3_c.jpg **2. What is the wood-fired process?** American clay, Japanese clay, and Miaoli clay are mixed in different proportions. The production process is purely hand-kneading (not a clay pulling machine) to slowly shape the clay. After the basic shape is formed, the lines of the clay are trimmed, and then polished to complete the initial clay. After entering the kiln, it undergoes a continuous fire process using natural longan wood and acacia wood for five days and four nights, raising the temperature to over 1,200 degrees. During this period, natural ash will adhere to the work, forming a special ash glaze; at the same time, the fire marks in the kiln will also flow between the works, forming beautiful orange-red or blue-purple fire mark traces. After five days and four nights of ash and fire patterns, it takes another week of cooling to achieve the beautiful appearance of the piece! Because the atmosphere in the kiln varies with each wood-fired firing, the ash and fire patterns in each piece are unique, making each piece unique! https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51567015104_1eec785177_b.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51567264535_7bd0037e60_c.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51565533012_fdce6d65a3_h.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51566346721_2b98f539f8_c.jpg **3. What should VIPs pay attention to?** The color of the product may vary slightly due to the light source of the photography. The work is purely handmade and will definitely leave traces of the texture of the work. The work may also have slight differences due to the firing process. It is normal for the rim to be crooked or there to be some scratches during the production. It can definitely be used normally.
