There are many ways to fire a purple clay teapot, and each firing process presents a unique beauty and characteristics. Wood firing, reduction firing and ash warming each have their own unique features, giving the purple clay teapot different colors and textures. The firing process of wood-fired (bare-fired) is to gradually increase the temperature. On the first day of firing the kiln, the fire is lit and smoked at low temperature. The carbon released by the firewood fills the pores of the clay blank. After the surface of the clay blank presents the black color of carbon, the temperature can be continued to rise. This process takes about 30 hours. The characteristic of wood-fired is that the ashes and flames produced by the burning of wood directly rush into the kiln. Unlike the general beautiful glaze, the ash in the kiln naturally adheres to the body, and forms a warm, smooth and rich natural gray glaze under high temperature baking; the melted or unmelted wood ash forms a smooth or rough texture and various color changes on its surface, leaving traces of the fire that has stayed, which is natural and without whitewashing. It will not be repeated and it is difficult to predict the results of its kiln firing. The color and texture of the wood-fired purple clay pot do not depend on people, but only on fire and ash. People's will can guide the direction of the finished product to a certain extent, but it cannot play a decisive role. For such a difficult and casual wood-fired work, the production skills have long been dissolved in the symphony of resonance between man and soil, kiln and wood, fire and ash, combined in the dialogue between man and kiln, and the dance between fire and soil. One color goes into the kiln, and thousands of colors come out of the kiln. Each one is unique. If you buy a purple clay cup together with a pot, you can get free shipping
