Geochemistry
From clay, the ceramic is shaped and coated with handcrafted transmutation glaze.
Through a high-temperature firing process, the glaze transforms under the influence of fire, creating unique shades, gradients, and crackle patterns on the surface.
Clay is fired into shape,
Glaze creates the surface,
Fire leaves its mark.
A crackle line.
A color gradient.
A highlight on the glaze.
Each piece therefore possesses its own unique appearance:
created from clay,
passing through fire,
and preserving an unrepeatable mark.
Transmutation glaze has spanned over 1,000 years of history with many ups and downs, at times nearly lost to the rapid development of modern industry. Through extraordinary efforts, artisans have realized their desire to bring the true beauty of this handcrafted transmutation glaze into daily life. This high-quality transmutation glazed ceramic line, based on a 1,300°C firing technique, creates an impressive, ever-changing coat of color and pattern. Each piece is a 100% synthesis of Vietnamese artisanal excellence, featuring selected domestic materials, unique glaze colors, and impressive artistry, under the guidance of seasoned French artisan Francois Jalov.
