Crafting Ancient Qiongyao Celadon Ware The intricate process relies entirely on raw earth alchemy and traditional kiln technology. The artisan crushes local porcelain stones using a historic water trip-hammer (Shui Zhuan), levigating the fine clay to throw delicate tea cups and relief-carved lid bowls (Gaiwan). The un-fired pieces are stacked carefully inside coarse clay saggars (匣钵) to protect them from direct flame and flying ash inside the kiln. Fired at high temperatures, the mineral glazes transform into a smooth, muted olive-green sheen—a tranquil homage to ancient Sichuan ceramic heritage, scholar tea culture, and slow-living elegance.
