Light Blue Wood Ash Tea 1

**Light Blue Wood Ash Tea 1** **What is Ash Glaze?** Ash glaze represents one of the earliest high-temperature glazes in the East, utilizing plant ash as its primary component. The final aesthetic of ash glaze is influenced by numerous factors, including the variations in plant composition across different regions, the selection of plants, soil composition, the firing process of the ash, and the water-to-ash ratio. Consequently, every piece of ash-glazed pottery displays a unique and captivating array of colors. **Our Plant Ash Glaze** Crafted from the ashes of locally sourced plants in Taichung, our natural ash glaze involves a complex and scarce production process. The unique composition of the plants used makes each batch irreplicable, imbuing the ware with wonderfully varied and captivating natural colors and textures. The process for creating our local ash glaze is illustrated in the following diagram: https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54023594837_cd1b56f38d_c.jpg **Light Blue Wood Ash Tea 1** Dimensions: Approx. 11.7 cm (L) x 5.2 cm (W) x 2.9 cm (H) Material: Pottery Clay Plant Ash Glaze: New East Mixed Wood Ash Firing Temperature: 1230°C Firing Atmosphere: Reduction Firing **Light Blue Wood Ash Tea 2** Dimensions: Approx. 12.7 cm (L) x 5.1 cm (W) x 3 cm (H) Material: Pottery Clay Plant Ash Glaze: New East Mixed Wood Ash Firing Temperature: 1230°C Firing Atmosphere: Reduction Firing Product Features - Handmade: Each piece is purely handcrafted, embodying the skill and thoughtful artistry of Taiwanese ceramic creators. - Natural Ash Glaze: Formulated from local Taichung plant ash, it presents unique natural colors and textures. - Irreplicable: Due to variations in plant composition, the glaze production process is complex and limited in output, giving each piece its unique character. - Resourceful Upcycling: Transforming agricultural waste into natural plant ash reflects our commitment to nature and sustainable production principles.

Please consider carefully before purchasing if you seek absolute perfection. * Crazing (crackle) on the ceramic surface is a natural phenomenon resulting from the differential shrinkage 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 ware is fired at high temperatures, ensuring safe usage. * The pieces are photographed in kind. Due to variations in lighting and angles during the photography process, slight color differences may occur. Precautions ◎ Please avoid using abrasive cleaning tools such as metal brushes, as they can scratch the glaze and diminish its luster. ◎ Avoid prolonged soaking in dirty water to prevent dirt from accumulating in the crackled areas. ◎ Ensure the ware is completely dry before storing.
