The jade tempered by firewood is shiny and moist. When traveling in the mountains, a touch of golden light shines on the lips. Sometimes it is green and sometimes moist, sometimes it is mysterious. The clear and shiny beauty in the picture above is wood-fired celadon from the Obs

Jade tempered by firewood and shiny and moist

Wandering in the mountains with misty clouds

A touch of golden light on the lips

Sometimes green and sometimes dark

The clear and shiny beauty in the picture above is wood-burning celadon in the Obsidian series. Why are these artifacts so beautiful?

Originally, wood-fired ceramics were the absolute mainstream in the history of ceramics. In modern times, due to the emergence of new firing methods such as heavy oil kilns, gas kilns, electric kilns, etc., wood-burning has gradually declined and has gradually revived in recent years. However, the so-called "firewood firing" that is commonly seen in the market is that the embryo is not glazed, fired without adding a sagger, , and firewood ash is used to form a fallen ash glaze on the embryo. This lineage is mostly the origin of Japanese-style wabi-sabi aesthetics . Yao Ci has its own interpretation of the aesthetics of wood burning.

Yao porcelain wood burning is a new interpretation of wood burning produced by the ceramic artist Mr. Lin Wenxiong based on the nearly perfect celadon firing in the past and the exploration of the secrets of traditional kiln firing modes. Porcelain glazing is an advancement in technological development and should continue to be carried forward. The real value of wood-fired firing is that compared to other firing methods that have emerged in modern times, the kiln fire is softer and gentler. This slow, slow and step-by-step firing method is more in line with the basic demands of traditional Chinese culture for "comparing virtue to jade, being gentle and benevolent". At the same time, wood burning will create a "kiln atmosphere" that is completely different from other firing methods, which involves complex chemical reactions. The final result is a completely different aesthetic style expression of the finished porcelain.

Yao Porcelain uses firewood kiln to fire porcelain, using stable burning longan wood as fuel. Through this gentle firing method, unprecedented crystal layers and textures in the glaze are tempered. It may be like clouds and mist, or it may be like mountains. The soft kiln fire makes the fetal soil produce a natural oily luster. The embryo body and glaze layer, the oily golden light and the luster of celadon complement each other and complement each other.

Compared with various modern firing methods, Yao porcelain wood-fired firing costs are higher, there are more firing variables, and the yield is lower. However, in order to achieve Yao porcelain's consistent extreme demands for perfection, all efforts are made. worth it. I believe that all those in the Fang family who have the chance to see the beautiful wood-fired Yao porcelain will feel the same way.
