【Mu Chun Life】240ml Wood-Fired Teapot - Metallic Sheen, Wavy Pattern, by Master Yeh Min-Hsiang

→ Product Introduction Wood firing is one of the oldest ceramic firing methods, primarily using wood as fuel. It requires four days of firing to reach the target temperature. The ash and oils from the burning wood then form a unique outer layer for each wood-fired piece, known as the ash glaze. The artistic value of wood firing speaks for itself. The distinctive ash glaze ensures that no two pieces are exactly alike, making uniqueness its most revered quality. Therefore, wood-fired creations best showcase the artist's personality and highlight the collector's discerning eye for art. Wood-fired ceramics can be broadly categorized into unglazed and glazed firing. Unglazed ware is fired directly without any glaze, revealing the most rustic texture of the wood-fired process. Glazed ware, on the other hand, builds upon the natural ash glaze with the addition of various glazes, resulting in even more diverse and transformative works. Beyond their artistic merit, wood-fired ceramics possess a practical advantage. During firing, the natural carbon adheres to the vessel, making the water or tea brewed in them exceptionally sweet and clear. This inherent quality enhances their functionality, adding practical value to their aesthetic appeal. Consequently, a good wood-fired piece must be not only beautiful but also functional. Master Yeh meticulously adjusts each piece based on his years of experience, ensuring that every item is comfortable to handle and durable. → Product Specifications Wood-fired Teapot, Metallic Sheen, Curved Pattern Capacity: 240ml Dimensions: 9 x 15.3 x 8.5 cm (Length x Width x Height) → Purchase Notes * Most products in this design館 are purely handmade, and the glaze or ash deposit on each piece is unique, which is the charm of ceramic art.
