Handmade, each one is different.
Kiln characteristics and color deviations can occur.
Completely handmade, the capacity will also vary.
The Formation of Nixing Pottery
The eastern clay is stored in a closed area, while the western clay is taken back and exposed to sunlight for four to six months or more. The western clay is taken back and mixed in a ratio of 4:6 to make a pottery blank. The eastern clay is soft as flesh and the western clay is hard as bone, so that the flesh and bone can support each other.
