Due to variations in plant composition across different regions, factors such as plant selection, soil composition, ash firing methods, and water-to-ash ratios all influence the final appearance of the glaze. Consequently, each ash-glazed ceramic piece displays a unique and captivating array of colors. **Our Plant Ash Glaze** This natural ash glaze, formulated using ashes from local Taichung plants, is produced in small batches through a complex process. As the precise plant components vary, the formula cannot be replicated, bestowing each vessel with endlessly varied and enchanting natural colors and textures. The process for creating our local ash glaze is illustrated in the diagram below: https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54023594837_cd1b56f38d_c.jpg Product Features - Handmade: Each piece is purely handmade, embodying the skill and thoughtful creativity of Taiwanese ceramic artists. - Natural Ash Glaze: Formulated with ashes from local Taichung plants, it presents unique natural colors and textures. - Irreplicable: Due to variations in plant composition, the glazing process is complex and yields limited quantities, giving each vessel a one-of-a-kind texture. - Resourceful Upcycling: Transforming agricultural waste into natural plant ash, reflecting our commitment to nature and environmentally conscious production principles. Product Design/Manufacture Location - Taichung Plant Ash Glaze Production/Manufacture Location - Taichung Friendly Reminder * Each vessel is entirely handmade; minor irregularities or uneven glaze expressions are normal and contribute to the uniqueness and aesthetic appeal of the piece. Please consider carefully before purchasing if you seek absolute perfection. * The crackling (craquelure) on the ceramic surface is a natural phenomenon resulting from the differential shrinkage of clay and glaze, not a product defect or crack. * Dimensions are measured by hand and may have slight variations (±0.3 cm). * All vessels are fired at high temperatures and are safe for use. * The vessels are photographed in kind; slight color variations may occur due to differences in lighting and angles during the shooting process. Precautions ◎ Please avoid using hard cleaning tools such as metal brushes to prevent scratching the glaze and causing the surface to lose its luster. ◎ Avoid prolonged soaking in dirty water to prevent dirt from accumulating in the cracks. ◎ Ensure the vessels are completely dry before storing them.
