Azure Grape Ash Bottle

**Azure Grape Ash Bottle** **What is Ash Glaze?** Ash glaze is one of the earliest high-temperature glazes in the Eastern world, derived from plant ashes. The final effect of ash glaze is determined by various factors such as differences in plant composition across regions, the choice of plants, soil composition, the firing method of the ash, and the water-to-ash ratio. Consequently, each ash-glazed pottery piece exhibits a captivating array of ever-changing and unique colors. **Our Plant Ash Glaze** Our natural ash glaze is formulated using ash from local Taichung plants. Each batch of ash glaze involves a complex process with limited production. Furthermore, the varying plant ingredients used make the formula irreplicable, bestowing upon the vessels a diverse and captivating natural color and texture.

Please consider carefully before purchasing if you seek absolute perfection. * Crazing (cracks) on the ceramic surface is a natural phenomenon resulting from the different shrinkage rates of the clay and glaze, and is 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. Due to variations in lighting and angles during photography, slight color differences may occur. Precautions ◎ Please avoid using hard cleaning tools such as metal brushes to prevent scratching the glaze and causing the surface luster to disappear. ◎ Do not soak for extended periods in dirty water to prevent dirt from accumulating in the cracks. ◎ Ensure the vessel is completely dry before storing.
