[Origin] Jinguashi Private Kiln Pottery Studio [Temperature] Approx. 1,230 degrees Celsius [Firing Method] Reduction firing [Uses] Collectibles, coasters, decorative tabletop items | Before You Buy | ◆ Each piece is purely handmade, with slight measurement variations. Please evaluate carefully if precise dimensions are critical. ◆ Due to variations in glazing techniques and firing temperatures, each ceramic piece possesses unique textures, lines, spots, and crackles, making it impossible to create identical items even within the same series. ◆ The crackles in ceramic products are formed during the firing process. Combined with the natural porosity of the clay, prolonged use with dark teas can cause the tea's color to naturally seep into these cracks, deepening their texture and forming a unique work of art. If you prefer to avoid this color transformation, consider choosing lighter-colored pieces. Before first use, it is recommended to heat the item in rice water over low heat for 20-30 minutes to allow the starch to fill the pores, which can reduce color absorption. ◆ Small white spots may be visible on the bottom of the ceramic piece. These are remnants of the clay used to stabilize the piece during firing, which adhere to the bottom upon demolding. Product photos show the item in its original state. The white clay on the bottom will be slightly ground down before formal shipment. If you are particularly concerned about fine details, please contact us for confirmation before placing your order. ◆ Insured by Product Liability Insurance: Policy Number 1516-15PD63887. | Brand Story | Founded on expertise in architecture and spatial design, CHIJIANYEN (棋建壂) integrates its professional foundation with a broad resource network.
