Beige Lady: Hand-thrown Wood-fired Ceramic Teapot

Under the prolonged high-temperature refinement of the wood kiln, the surface of the vessel is adorned with a gentle, beige ash glaze, lending it a serene and elegant hue. The tall, slender form of the teapot's body features smooth, upward-sweeping lines from the throwing process, evoking the graceful, poised, and harmonious beauty of a refined lady. The fusion of the unadorned clay body with the thick ash glaze creates subtle crackling, which, within its clean visual proportions, hints at a restrained yet noble artistic temperament, adding a captivating sense of ritual to the moments of pouring water and serving tea. • Each wood-fired ash glaze is unique; no two pieces are exactly alike. • The lid fits snugly, and the fine holes ensure a smooth pour. • The stream of water is strong and precise, stopping cleanly without dripping. — Product Information — • Artist: Yang Yi-Juan • Dimensions: Length 13 cm, Width 8 cm, Height 9 cm • Capacity: 170 ml — Important Notes — ● Each ceramic piece is handcrafted by the artisan, making its design and color unique. Even pieces within the same style will exhibit slight variations. ● Wood-fired pieces are one-of-a-kind. Even if re-fired, the ash glaze colors will not be identical. Don't miss out if you love it! ● The rich layered colors of ceramic works are difficult to fully capture in flat photographs. We strive to present them as realistically as possible, but color discrepancies may occur due to variations in computer monitor displays. The actual product is the final authority. — Care Instructions — ● Suitable for hot water and food. Do not heat directly over an open flame (such as an alcohol lamp or gas stove), as this may cause cracking or damage. ● Clean with soft materials (sponges, loofahs). Avoid abrasive materials (steel wool, sandpaper) that could scratch the surface. — A Story of Wood Firing — https://c1.staticflickr.com/3/2805/33343940793_f95db781ca_b.jpg Through the continuous four-day, four-night firing process passed down from master to apprentice, where the temperature is controlled by judging when and how to add wood – a time-consuming and labor-intensive, almost lost ancient technique – **each piece becomes a unique treasure in the world, impossible to replicate, making it truly worth collecting.** Wood-fired works are left unglazed; instead, the natural ash produced during firing bestows each piece with a beautiful, naturally non-toxic finish.
