After four days of firing and four days of cooling, the Echun ancient kiln welcomed new ceramic works.

Take the sagger out of the kiln entrance,

Various pots, bowls, plates and bottles

Make a stunning appearance with residual warmth,

Carefully, move them away from the kiln entrance one by one.

Liang Jincheng, the person in charge of the ancient kiln

Pointing to one of the treasures, he told reporters.

Liang Jincheng introduced that traditional firing makes the glaze colors of ceramic works more varied, making the products of "Echun Ancient Kiln" favored by a large number of artists and collectors.

Liang Jincheng told reporters that the Echun ancient kiln continues the traditional ancient pottery making process. The main craft essence lies in the wood-making of the ancient kiln. The mud, ash and glaze are perfectly combined under the action of firewood. After a long period of high temperature, It melts to form natural gray glazed pottery, which occasionally has the effect of "kiln transformation", and the color charm is ever-changing.
