Chai Shao 'Mountain View' Tea Jar

DESCRIPTION: A fine, handmade Chai Shao tea jar with a special metal tin cover for an excellent seal. The glaze color of the jar is originally a natural gray, which is then wood-fired for three days and three nights inside the firing pine kiln. In fact, the charm of firewood burning lies in that the final glaze color relies heavily on fate and luck when fired in the kiln.  MATERIAL: For a fully handmade wood-fired ceramic (Chai Shao) to be made, it takes seven days of processing of the old mud. It is then followed by one day of mud drilling, one day of billet drawing, two days of billet airing, two hours of billet repairing, five hours of plain burning, eight hours of abrasive glaze burning, one hour of bottom filling. Furthermore, it takes 20 hours of full kiln exposure, 60 hours of firing in the kiln, and another 60 hours to cool. The excellent hand-painted mud is then burned in an electric kiln to perfection for 12 hours, only after being hand-painted by a skilled artist. Overall,
