Due to variations in plant composition across different regions, factors such as plant selection, soil composition, ash firing methods, and water-ash ratios all contribute to the final appearance of the ash glaze. Consequently, each ash glazed pottery piece exhibits infinitely varied and uniquely captivating colors. **Our Plant Ash Glaze** This natural ash glaze, formulated from the ashes of plants native to Taichung, involves a complex and scarce production process for each batch. Furthermore, the distinct and irreproducible recipes due to varying plant components bestow upon the ceramics their infinitely varied and captivating natural colors and textures. The process for producing our local ash glaze is illustrated in the following diagram: https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54023594837_cd1b56f38d_c.jpg Product Features - Handmade: Each piece is purely handmade, embodying the skill and ingenuity of Taiwanese ceramic artists. - Natural Ash Glaze: Formulated from the ashes of local Taichung plants, it presents unique natural colors and textures. - Irreproducible: Due to differences in plant components, the glazing process is complex, and production is limited, giving each item a unique texture. - Resource Recycling: Transforming agricultural waste into natural plant ash demonstrates our commitment to nature and eco-friendly production principles. Product Design/Manufacturing Location - Taichung Plant Ash Glaze Production/Manufacturing Location - Taichung Gentle Reminders * As each piece is purely handmade, minor irregularities or uneven glaze application are normal and contribute to the uniqueness and aesthetic of the ware. Please consider carefully before purchasing if you seek absolute perfection. * Cracks on the ceramic surface (crazing) are a natural phenomenon resulting from the differential shrinkage of the clay and glaze, and are not product defects or cracks. * Dimensions are measured by hand and may have slight errors (±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 the shooting process, there may be slight color differences. Precautions ◎ Please avoid using hard cleaning tools such as metal brushes to prevent scratching the glaze and causing the surface luster to disappear. ◎ Please do not soak for extended periods in dirty water to prevent dirt from accumulating in the crackle gaps. ◎ Please ensure the vessels are completely dry before storing them.
