Ruins After the Fire・Tea Bowl 2

Long ago, a great fire consumed an entire northern city, leaving nothing but ashes. The survivors migrated south. Centuries later, exploration teams began excavating the ruins, seeking to unearth more history from the frozen earth. In nature, fire signifies renewal, a cleansing that allows the land to regenerate after forests burn, bringing forth new growth and a cycle of metabolism. In a spiritual context, fire represents the altar, an offering to gods and buddhas. The ruins left after the fire embody a state of layered remnants and anticipation, a more beautiful form of life after experiencing destruction and rebirth. Diameter: Approximately 12cm Height: Approximately 7cm Origin: Taiwan Material: Shigaraki Clay (信樂土) Handmade Bisque fired at 900°C, glazed and fired at 1230°C with oxidation. The glaze is non-toxic and safe for food contact. Notes: Dimensions are measured by hand and may have a slight error of 0.5cm, but I strive for accuracy. All photos are taken in natural light, capturing various angles of the object. However, slight color variations and subjective differences may occur due to variations in computer monitors or mobile phone brands and settings. Before purchasing, please take a moment to envision the piece, use a ruler to gauge its size, and if it feels right, proceed with your order :) As my capacity is very limited, returns or exchanges due to the item not meeting expectations are not accepted. Please feel free to message me with any questions, and I will do my best to respond. Guests who have messaged me before know that I always reply, and patiently so. Thank you. Finally, ceramic firing involves many variables, and sometimes small, unnoticeable pores may appear that do not affect usability. These are considered normal occurrences. I do my utmost to avoid such variables during the creation process. I look forward to your feedback upon receiving your pottery. See you next time.
