https://img.shoplineapp.com/media/image_clips/64a37bb12514d500236afddd/original.jpg?1688435633 **Product Description and Story** Master Lin Yu-Sheng from Beitou, Taipei, established his studio in 1994. For over two decades, he has dedicated himself to the research of glazes. Drawing inspiration from local materials, Master Lin uses ash from burned cherry blossom wood, mixed with other ashes, to create his glazes. Applied and fired at high temperatures, his pottery achieves the hardness and luster of porcelain, producing a clear ringing sound when tapped—a hallmark of his unique style. Over the past 20-plus years, he has developed a diverse range of glaze effects, and he hopes more people will discover his work through pinkoi. Cherry Blossom Wood Ash Glaze is divided into two categories: (1) Natural Ash Glaze: Ash from plants used as fuel in wood-fired kilns naturally falls onto the ceramic body during firing. This ash melts and fuses with the body's surface at high temperatures, creating the glaze. Wood-fired ceramics typically exhibit this type of ash glaze. (2) Artificial Ash Glaze: Processed plant ash is collected and then mixed, either entirely or partially, with other materials by hand to create the glaze, which is then applied to the ceramic body. This glaze is formed after high-temperature firing. **Artistic Concept** Inspired by the cherry blossom wood ash glaze, this teapot blends nature with the warmth of handcrafted artistry. The pot's body exudes an understated elegance and simplicity. The side handle transforms tea brewing into a comfortable ritual, allowing you to savor the beauty and gentleness of life in every sip of tea. **Detailed Product Introduction** This side-handle teapot is handcrafted by a Taiwanese artisan and fired with a unique cherry blossom wood ash glaze, where the colors shift and reveal distinct textures with the kiln's heat. With a 420cc capacity, it's suitable for sharing with multiple people. The ergonomic handle design ensures smooth pouring and easy operation. This piece, elegant even without tea leaves, is perfect as a Mother's Day gift or for personal collection.
