Yi Fang Long Yao keeps several electric kilns to continue their research into firing temperatures and techniques as they work to revive Song Dynasty wood-firing techniques. This strainer was hand-crafted using the same clay and glazing of Shui Ji used by Song Dynasty potters. The silver spot oil glaze that naturally forms during firing recreates the Song tradition that was the inspiration for all Japanese Tenmoku wares. This strainer is finished with a simple steel mesh, and the glazing is dipped not quite to the ends to leave a beautiful contrast of exposed pottery and silvery glazing.
