Artist: Hong Huaping
The clay used: Chaogaowen Chun Tianran Zipin Zishani
Chaogaowen means in this case the pot was fired at very high temperatures (>1250°C).
The name Chun Tianran refers to the properties of the clay, natural and pure. Zipin means mixed. Zipin clay is often sorted out and prepared personally by the artist. With experienced eyes,he recognises the nature of the raw ore and assesses its behaviour during preparation and firing. Clay of this kind cannot be assigned to a certain category and rather shows the personal style of the Zisha artist.
