Since its hand-made, each item may vary slightly, with potential brushstrokes visible on the back, adding to the individuality and authentic charm of the product.
Clay Preparation and Shaping
The process begins with the preparation of the clay, which is a mix of materials like quartz, feldspar, and kaolin. The clay is finely ground and mixed with water to form a smooth consistency. Once prepared, the clay is shaped into various forms such as plates, bowls, and tea sets. Potters use traditional techniques like the pottery wheel or molds to craft each item carefully.
Glazing and Painting
After the clay is dried and bisque fired, the pottery is coated with a special glaze, often featuring cobalt oxide to create the signature blue hues. Once the glaze is applied, the pottery is hand-painted with intricate designs, often inspired by nature and traditional patterns. This is where the unique beauty of Blue Pottery is showcased, with detailed artwork adorning each piece.
Firing, Quality Control, and Finishing
The painted pottery is fired again in a kiln at a higher temperature to set the glaze and paint. This final firing ensures durability and vivid color. After firing, the pottery undergoes quality control to check for any imperfections. Any flaws are addressed before the finishing touches are applied, like polishing to enhance the surface and smooth out rough edges, making the piece ready for use.
