Jinxia stopped making vases. She declared she would give Sheng Yan a taste of his own medicine and leave a few clay marks on his face!
This time, besides participating in the process of making ceramics, they also learned many firing techniques and identified how different firing temperatures and processes could create diverse patterns on the ceramics.
Jinxia really liked the Ice Cracks; every time she saw them, she felt they were a form of imperfect beauty. The web-like, intertwined cracks were unique on every piece of ceramic.
Additionally, she liked the leaf pattern. She got a little sake bottle she had made from a clay embryo. It resembled a sake bottle, but with a very antique color, and at the bottom of the bottle, there was a golden leaf.
The leaf's veins and texture were clearly visible. When water was poured inside, the water ripples shimmered in the sunlight, making it seem like a leaf was floating in the water, astonishing to behold.
