A plant ash glaze is made by mixing porcelain stone, plant ash, and glaze fruit, adding water, grinding, and washing. The finished product is elegantly off-white. However, it is different from ordinary off-white. Its surface has clearly visible crackle textures. Similar to the warmth of ivory, it shows a more advanced feeling.

*Function of the Jianshui Cup

Its main function is to collect waste water. During the process of making tea, for example, the first rinse water when washing the tea leaves and the extra tea water that overflows from the tea tray when wiping it will all be collected in the Jianshui, which plays a role in keeping the tea-making area clean and tidy and prevents the waste water from flowing randomly and wetting the tabletop. For instance, on a traditional Chinese tea table, people often conduct operations like brewing and wiping. The Jianshui is just like a “waste water collection station”, quietly taking in these extra amounts of water.
