The clay body undergoes special treatment before being sealed in containers for five years of natural gas firing. The prolonged combustion process creates rainbow-hued patterns of red, orange, yellow, and black across the surface. These natural "flame marks" serve as authentic identifiers of traditional wood-fired craftsmanship. Each unique pattern emerges from precisely controlled kiln temperatures and airflow dynamics - excessive heat distorts aesthetics while insufficient firing mutes chromatic gradations, demanding exceptional artisan experience.
