Frequently Asked Question
How are your silver-glazed ceramics made?
How are your silver-glazed ceramics made?
Crafted by master artisan Niu Fangfang in Jingdezhen, each piece begins with earthen clay shaped entirely by hand—eschewing the traditional pottery wheel. After an initial firing at 1270°C, real silver overglaze is hand-painted and refired multiple times at around 800°C, creating a complex, multi-faceted sculptural form with a unique luster.
Why does my ceramic piece look slightly different from the photo?
Why does my ceramic piece look slightly different from the photo?
Because our artisan uses an ancient hand-patting technique, the clay retains its natural structural tension. This deliberate process ensures that every geometric vase and espresso cup features subtle, one-of-a-kind variations in shape, size, and silver texture. No two pieces are exactly alike.
Will the silver glaze tarnish or change color over time?
Will the silver glaze tarnish or change color over time?
Yes, and this is an intentional part of the design. Real silver naturally oxidizes when exposed to air, light, and the warmth of your touch. Over time, the bright silver will develop a soft, warm patina. We embrace this wabi-sabi aesthetic as it records the passage of time and the quiet history of your daily use.
I noticed some yellowing or dark spots on my silver vessel. Is it defective?
I noticed some yellowing or dark spots on my silver vessel. Is it defective?
Not at all. These spots are the natural result of silver oxidation. This "living finish" is the true hallmark of genuine silver luster. The surface is sensitive to its environment and transforms uniquely for every owner, adding a soulful, lived-in character to your artisanal goods.
How can I restore the original shine to my silver-glazed cup or vase?
How can I restore the original shine to my silver-glazed cup or vase?
If you prefer the original, luminous silver finish over the oxidized patina, you can easily restore it. Gently wipe the surface using a soft silver-polishing cloth or a mild silver cleaning paste. Always avoid abrasive scrubbing pads, which can permanently scratch the glaze.
