🧵 Craftsmanship & Ingredients
Crafted in Longquan using native porcelain stone rich in quartz and kaolinite, this piece undergoes 28 precise steps from clay preparation to final firing at 1380°C. The deliberate “百圾碎” crackle glaze — resembling fine ice fractures — is a hallmark of Ge kiln artistry. Each vase is air-dried, hand-trimmed, and glazed in layers to achieve depth and brilliance.
