Ancient Chinese culture, rich in philosophy and tradition, has given the world countless wise sayings. One such proverb says, "To do a good job, you need good tools." This simple but profound truth is reflected in many areas of human activity, including the art of the tea ceremony.
In ancient China, special attention was paid to the firing of ceramics when producing tableware. Nowadays, modern craftsmen continue to work with wood-fired stoves as with a living instrument, the result of firing in which is always unpredictable. Ceramic products turn out to be surprisingly organic due to firing at very high temperatures, where flying ash settles during the combustion process. Wood firing is one of the most difficult methods of decoration, because ceramics are very capricious. Gradual heating and cooling always gives a unique, exclusive and inimitable product.
