The Shouzhou Kiln in the Chinese mainland’s Anhui Province embodies a dialogue between earth and fire, where two glazes capture the region’s soul.
Morning Light in Yellow
From sandy sediments of the Huai River emerges a yellow glaze as warm and mellow as dawn on riverbanks.
Twilight in Purple
Mineral-rich rocks from Mount Zijin yield a purple hue as deep and serene as dusk settling over the hills.
Together, these colors reveal how local soil and stone shape the spirit of ceramics, carrying forward a cultural memory etched into both river and mountain.
