Monochromatic Glaze: The Ultimate Beauty, Return to Simplicity

Monochrome glaze, also known as "single color glaze", "pure color glaze" or "one glaze", with its pure color and moist texture, left a strong mark in the history of Chinese ceramics. It is not only the "mother of colored porcelain", but also the highest state of porcelain collection, interpreting the true meaning of "the ultimate beauty is nature".

The artistic charm of monochromatic glaze

Decorated with glaze color:

Natural without carving:

Beautiful glaze is like jade:

• Monochrome glazed porcelain pursues the realm of "beautiful glaze is like jade", that is, the texture of porcelain glaze is as delicate and moist as jade. This is not only the ultimate pursuit of craftsmanship, but also the sublimation of aesthetics.
