Ice-cracked gray glaze bowl

**Ice-cracked gray glaze bowl** **What is gray glaze?** Ash glaze is the earliest high-temperature glaze to appear in the Eastern world, and is made from plant ashes. Due to the differences in plant composition in different regions, various factors such as plant selection, soil composition, ash firing method and water-cement ratio determine the final effect of the gray glaze. As a result, each piece of gray-glazed pottery exhibits an ever-changing and unique array of fascinating colors. **Our plant gray glaze** The natural gray glaze is made from the ashes of local plants in Taichung. The production process of each batch of gray glaze is complicated and the output is rare. In addition, the plant ingredients used are different and the formula cannot be copied.

Slight unevenness or uneven glaze expression are normal phenomena and give the vessel its uniqueness and beauty. If you are looking for perfection, please think twice before buying. *Cracks (splitting) on the ceramic surface are natural phenomena caused by the different shrinkage rates of soil and glaze, and are not product defects or cracks. * Dimensions are measured manually and may have slight errors (±0.3 cm). * All utensils are fired at high temperatures, please use them with confidence. * The utensils are taken from real objects. Due to different lighting and angles during the shooting process, some color differences may occur. Things to note ◎ Do not use hard cleaning tools such as metal brushes to avoid scratching the glaze and causing the surface gloss to disappear. ◎ Do not soak in dirty water for a long time to prevent dirt from accumulating in the cracks. ◎ Please make sure the utensils are completely dry before storing them.
