Snow White Ink Ash Bowl

**Snow White Ink Ash Bowl** **What is Ash Glaze?** Ash glaze is one of the earliest high-temperature glazes in the East, derived from plant ashes. The final effect of ash glaze is determined by various factors such as differences in plant composition across regions, soil composition, the method of firing the ash, and the water-to-ash ratio. Consequently, each ash-glazed ceramic piece exhibits a unique and captivating array of colors. **Our Plant Ash Glaze** This natural ash glaze is formulated from the ashes of local Taichung plants. The production process for each batch is complex and yields are scarce. Furthermore, the inability to replicate the exact formula due to variations in plant ingredients imbues the ware with ever-changing, captivating natural colors and textures. The process of creating our local ash glaze is illustrated in the diagram below: https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54023594837_cd1b56f38d_c.jpg **Snow White Ink Ash Bowl** Dimensions: Approximately 12.5 cm (L) x 12.5 cm (W) x 7 cm (H) Material: Porcelain clay Plant Ash Glaze: Grapevine ash Firing Temperature: 1230°C Firing Atmosphere: Reduction firing Product Features - Handmade: Each piece is meticulously 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 glazing process is complex and production is limited, giving each piece a unique texture. - Resourceful Upcycling: Transforms agricultural waste into natural plant ash, reflecting our commitment to nature and environmentally friendly practices.

Please consider carefully before purchasing if you seek absolute perfection. * Crazing (crackle) on the ceramic surface is a natural phenomenon resulting from the differing shrinkage rates 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 wares 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. Precautions ◎ Please avoid using hard cleaning tools such as metal brushes to prevent scratching the glaze and dulling the surface luster. ◎ Avoid prolonged soaking in dirty water to prevent grime from accumulating in the crackle. ◎ Ensure the ware is completely dry before storing.
