Every vine, leaf, and gourd is meticulously hand-painted stroke by stroke.

The unfired vessel is placed securely inside a saggar (a protective ceramic box) and fired using pure pine wood. Kiln masters rely on decades of experience, manually adding wood to control the temperature, which eventually peaks at 1300°C. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eUnlike the predictable and uniform heating curves of modern gas kilns, a wood-fired kiln produces a natural, rhythmic temperature variation. During the intense heat, the volatilized oils from the pine wood interact with the porcelain glaze. This distinct reaction grants the porcelain an exceptionally antiqued, deeply lustrous, and \"oily\" finish. It is this warm, jade-like texture that makes authentic wood-fired pieces irreplaceable.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMaterial \u0026amp; Craft Specifications\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Jingdezhen, China\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan\u003eShaping Technique:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Fully hand-thrown and hand-trimmed on the potter's wheel\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan\u003eClay Body:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Premium raw ore antique-style clay (a traditional blend of porcelain stone and kaolin)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePigment:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Raw ore antique-style cobalt blue pigment\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDecoration:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Fully hand-painted motifs (featuring full-surface coverage)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGlaze:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Raw ore transparent glaze\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBowl Diameter:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 9.0 cm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBowl Height:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 7.7 cm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCapacity:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 120 ml\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSaucer Diameter:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 11.5 cm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSaucer Height:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 2.5 cm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"FERMATA ARCHIVE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45307893121139,"sku":null,"price":319.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0701\/8404\/2611\/files\/FA_S04_GW11.jpg?v=1785904273","url":"https:\/\/fermata-archive.com\/zh-hans\/products\/jingdezhen-antique-style-hand-painted-wood-fired-blue-white-sancai-gaiwan-bats-gourds-motif","provider":"FERMATA ARCHIVE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
