Dark Brown Wood Fired Tea Jar
Dark Brown Wood Fired Tea Jar
Handmade by a potter studio specializing in wood-fired teaware in Jingdezhen, China, this tea jar features a mixture of glossy and matte dark brown glaze with grainy texture that is achieved by long exposure to wood firing. We especially like the glossy glaze change and small size of this tea jar.
Traditional wood-fired kilns have become rare in China today. The laborious process of wood-firing creates a unique and natural glazing that can’t be achieved in more common and easier to use electric kilns. The special texture, color, and pattern of wood-fired teaware is a result of direct exposure to fire and ash over a long period, making wood-fired teaware some of the most sought-after teaware today.

Additional Information:
It’s food-safe, of course. And also dishwasher safe. However, I strongly recommend that you wash and dry it by hand, and use it gently. Please do not use on an open flame, gas or electric stove-top. And try to avoid alternating hot and cold, which could cause cracking.
