Sweet Object

A girlfriend claimed that she just couldn’t appreciate the under-glazing （釉下彩） or high fire color glazing（高溫顔色釉） ceramics.

‘Why don’t you play with some colors, patterns or over-glazing (釉上彩) decoration?’ she asked.
‘Because its very simple, stable, and not much challenge of crafting.’ I said.

Yet one day I was done drawing on a major project (which has been failed for n times.) and wandering around with my pen & sketchbook… It came to me that maybe simple color, pattern, or over-glazing are a lack of craftsmanship; but craftsmanship is not necessary the only thing to create sweet objects or having fun.

So here goes the pattern.
high fire (1320C) for mat white glaze;
2nd fire 800C for the colors.

I only made few pieces for fun.
And it’s a great pleasure to share some creating processes with you
