【Playful Beginnings】 The Genesis of Sanshing 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 chicks. This curiosity about the disappearing little birds on the road sparked a journey of observation, documentation, and illustration, which ultimately led to the creation of the Sanshing Four Seasons Blue and White porcelain. The Ruddy-breasted Crake's amusing demeanor naturally became 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. 【Accumulation】 Grains Gathering into Piles The Lanyang River and its tributary, the Luodong River, which encircle Sanshing, are lined with vast expanses of white pampas grass and gravelly riverbeds. During the plum rain season in April and May, floods carry sand and gravel from upstream. Along the Lanyang River, the rumbling sounds of gravel screening machines and falling stones can be heard, as grains accumulate into piles, forming conical mounds of grey along the riverbanks. 【Sweetness】 The Juicy Shangjiang Pear The pristine air, quality water, pollution-free environment, and humid climate of Sanshing are essential for cultivating the precious and unique flatland pear. It offers a refreshing sweetness on hot summer days. 【Friendship】 Neighborly Bonds Living in Sanshing, it's common to see neighbors leaving fresh produce at your doorstep. A significant spirit in Yilan is the willingness to "do," to cultivate not only one's own land but also irrigation areas, riverbanks, and roadsides – anywhere there is soil. 【Vitality】 Vibrant Reeds Reeds bloom in autumn, marking the season with their distinctive scenery. They are sparsely distributed along field ditches or cover the infertile land of riverbeds and gravel banks. Yet, their silvery, flowing flowers sway vibrantly in the wind, appearing like starlight scattered across the ground under the sun. --------------------------------------------------------------------- 【Craftsmanship】 Hand-Glazed. Blue and White Stamping ★ This piece is handcrafted, embracing a free-spirited feel and natural variations. Due to high-temperature firing, the final shape may not be perfectly round, and each item will have slight differences in size and form. The white glaze is hand-dipped, resulting in natural flow patterns and marks. The hand-stamped blue and white designs will exhibit varying shades of intensity after firing. Occasionally, natural brown iron spots or blue glaze specks may appear. Please refrain from ordering if you have extremely high expectations for color consistency. 【Dimensions】 Mouth Diameter 6.5cm, Height 6cm, Base Diameter 7cm (+-0.5cm) 【Material】 Ceramic Clay.
