The wood-fired gray-glazed outer layer, double-hung with gray-blue glaze,
The color is full of temperament and layering.

Handmade pottery,
The glaze is warm and beautiful,
The shades of natural blooming,
Form a quiet and steady space,
Pour your whole day's beauty into the cup.

**Flow glaze**
The flow characteristics of ceramic glaze and glass are very different when they are melted at high temperature. When the glaze is melted in the kiln, it must maintain a certain viscosity, otherwise it will flow down the green body and flow to the bottom, which will stick the pottery and the refractory slab. , This work is no longer available.
For potters, when forming the glaze formula, in addition to considering its viscosity and the temperature in the kiln (heating and cooling), the expansion coefficient of the glaze and the embryo body must match, so that it will not be cooled after firing During the process, because the embryo body and the glaze layer shrink inconsistently, the glaze skips or breaks.

**Wood burning introduction**
"Firewood" is a traditional kiln burning method that uses wood to burn to a high temperature above 1200 degrees.
There are natural "fire marks" left by firewood directly on the green body, as well as the ashes that naturally fall after the wood is burned, which makes the color of the work warm and varied, which is a realm that electric kilns and gas kilns cannot reach.
Compared with ordinary electric kilns and gas kilns, it takes about 8 to 10 days for firewood to burn from row (stack) kilns, ignition and burning to closing the kiln, and then cooling down.
Coupled with the high pressure of the wood burning kiln, as well as the humidity of the climate, the dryness of the wood, the artificial speed of throwing wood, the location of the kiln, etc., all factors may lead to the success or failure of the work, and the damage rate is also high.
Experienced wood-burning writers will consider the speed of the entire kiln airflow when discharging the kiln. From how different sizes of works are emitted, how to estimate how the fire path rises, how to throw firewood and carbon, and the degree of burning fire must be planned. mind. Every process has to be devoted and focused, so that the perfect firewood works will be presented.

**Precautions**
1. The works are all handmade, the texture and color are different, and the computer display is different.
2. The surface of the work has bumps, slight bubbles, glaze shades, and cracks. The texture is normal for hand-made, not flaws.
3. Each piece is stamped with the Mingya kiln seal or hand-carved and signed by the author (Teacher Cai Rongzong, Teacher Zhong Xuanhui).
4. Please clean with sponge, soft detergent and water before first use. It should not be heated by exposure to direct fire, and the temperature difference between hot and cold should not be too large. It can be used in microwave ovens, ovens and electric cookers.
5. The works are all real shots. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us, we will reply you as soon as possible!!
