The days are still the same, simple. Make a pot of good tea and pour it into the sea of tea. Time seems to stand still, the fragrance of tea fills the surroundings, and the years are long, so peaceful. The wood-burning golden color tea sea, the falling ash is scattered and blends with the golden color, it is gorgeous and simple, and the water is clear. Capacity: about 300cc 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 gives 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/65535/51566346721_76eb324304_h.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-kneaded (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 ash and fire patterns, it still takes a week of cooling before the beautiful appearance of a piece of work can be achieved! Since the atmosphere in the kiln is different each time wood is burned, the ash and fire patterns of each work cannot be the same, making each work unique! https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51565533012_fdce6d65a3_h.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.
