Brushed Willow Ash Lace Plate

**Brushed Willow Ash Lace Plate** **What is Ash Glaze?** Ash glaze is one of the earliest high-temperature glazes in the Eastern world, derived from plant ashes. The final effect of ash glaze is determined by various factors such as differences in plant composition across regions, the choice of plants, soil composition, the firing method of the ash, and the water-to-ash ratio. Consequently, each piece of ash-glazed pottery exhibits a unique and captivating array of colors. **Our Plant Ash Glaze** Our natural ash glaze is formulated using ash from local plants in Taichung. The intricate and scarce production process for each batch of ash glaze, coupled with the inability to replicate the formula due to variations in plant components, imbues the ware with captivating natural colors and textures that are ever-changing and unique.

Minor imperfections in flatness or uneven glaze application are normal and contribute to the uniqueness and beauty of the ware. Please consider carefully before purchasing if you seek absolute perfection. * Crazing (crackle) on the ceramic surface is a natural phenomenon resulting from the differing shrinkage rates of the clay and glaze, and is not a product defect or crack. * Dimensions are measured by hand and may have slight variations (±0.3 cm). * All ware is fired at high temperatures and is safe for use. * The ware is 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 to prevent scratching the glaze and causing the surface luster to disappear. ◎ Please do not soak in dirty water for extended periods to prevent dirt from accumulating in the crackle gaps. ◎ Ensure the ware is completely dry before storing.
