Due to variations in plant composition across different regions, factors such as plant selection, soil composition, ash firing methods, and water-to-ash ratios all influence the final effect of the ash glaze. Consequently, each ash-glazed ceramic piece exhibits ever-changing and uniquely captivating colors. **Our Plant Ash Glaze** Our natural ash glaze, meticulously formulated from the ashes of local Taichung plants, undergoes a complex and low-yield production process. Furthermore, the inability to replicate the formula due to variations in the selected plant ingredients imbues each piece with captivating, ever-changing natural colors and textures. The process of creating our local ash glaze is illustrated in the diagram below: https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54023594837_cd1b56f38d_c.jpg Product Features - Handmade: Each piece is purely handmade, embodying the techniques and thoughtful craftsmanship of Taiwanese ceramic artists. - Natural Ash Glaze: Formulated with ash from local Taichung plants, it displays unique natural colors and textures. - Irreplicable: Due to variations in plant composition, the glaze production process is complex and limited in yield, giving each piece a one-of-a-kind texture. - Resource Recycling: Transforming agricultural waste into natural plant ash reflects our commitment to nature and environmentally conscious production principles.

Minor imperfections or variations in glaze application are normal and contribute to the uniqueness and beauty of the piece. Please consider carefully before purchasing if you seek absolute perfection. * Crazing (crackle) on the ceramic surface is a natural phenomenon resulting from the different shrinkage rates of the clay and glaze, and does not indicate 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, which may scratch the glaze and cause the surface luster to disappear. ◎ Please do not soak the ware in dirty water for extended periods to prevent dirt from accumulating in the crackle lines. ◎ Ensure the ware is completely dry before storing.
