Soup Bowl [Playful Charm] [Crimson Adornment] [Sweet Delight] [Vibrant Life] [Vitality]

【Playful Charm】 The Beginning of Sanshing's Four Seasons In the summer, one might occasionally spot a Ruddy-breasted Crake darting across the roads of Sanshing Township, often followed by a few tiny, dark little ones. This curiosity about the disappearing chicks on the road sparked a journey of observation, documentation, and illustration, which ultimately led to the creation of Sanshing Four Seasons Blue and White. The Ruddy-breasted Crake's naturally playful demeanor has become the spirit symbol and logo of Sanshing Four Seasons. The next time you drive through Sanshing, please join us in keeping an eye out for these adorable little creatures. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 【Sweet Delight】 - Sweet and Juicy Shangjiang Pears The air, water quality, pollution-free environment, and humid climate of Sanshing are essential for cultivating these precious and unique lowland pears. They offer a refreshing sweetness, perfect for a hot summer day. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 【Vibrant Life】 - Pure Dragonflies Nestled against the mountains, Sanshing boasts abundant water resources and sandy ditches. It's common to find dragonfly and damselfly larvae, guppies, and small shrimp in the roadside ditches. Larger channels are home to tilapia, Thai crucian carp, mud crabs, soft-shelled turtles, and tortoises. The survival of dragonflies is closely linked to clean water sources and ecological cycles, making them a symbol of health and purity. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 【Crimson Adornment】 - An-Nong Creek's Chinese Hackberry Along the An-Nong Creek in Xingjian Village, besides the beautiful bald cypress forests, stand several Chinese Hackberry trees that bear fruit in winter. Clusters of small, red, spherical fruits adorn the branches, creating a vibrant splash of crimson against the verdant banks of the An-Nong Creek. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 【Vitality】 - Lively Reed Flowers Reed flowers bloom in autumn, marking the season with their characteristic beauty. Though often found scattered along field ditches or covering the infertile gravel beds of riverbeds, their silvery, elegant blooms sway vibrantly in the wind. In the sunlight, the reed flowers shimmer like a galaxy of stars scattered across the land. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 【Craftsmanship】 Hand-Sprayed Glaze & Blue and White Stamping This is more than just a craft; it's a transmission of emotion. The creation of Sanshing Four Seasons Blue and White ceramics emphasizes a warm, tactile feel, ensuring that every minute action leaves a profound mark during the shaping process. This distinguishes these vessels from industrially produced ceramics, as each step is filled with unique variations. From gathering the clay, shaping it on the wheel or through casting, to trimming the base and carefully removing the semi-finished piece onto a wooden frame to air dry, followed by bisque firing, hand-spraying the glaze, blue and white stamping, and finally firing at 1230°C – every step leaves a distinctive trace on the vessel. This meticulous process ultimately nurtures the unique character of each piece, extending a sense of warmth from your hands to your heart. Here, every vessel tells a unique story, an artwork lovingly crafted by artisans. These subtle marks are not only a testament to the crafting process but also the inherent soul of each piece, enveloping your life in a uniquely warm ambiance. ★ This piece is hand-glazed, embracing a free-spirited feel and natural variations. Slight differences in size, shape, pattern, and color are to be expected. 【Dimensions】 Bowl Diameter: 12.5cm, Height: 6cm, Base Diameter: 5.5cm (+-0.5cm) 【Material】 Ceramic Clay.
