A rare, kiln-born crystallization from the Skyward Dragon Kiln, Asterism presents a dense, luminous field of silver-white crystal clusters that gather toward a radiant core. Fired only once with this exact effect and not reproduced despite multiple subsequent attempts, it stands as one of the most exceptional outcomes of this year’s wood-firing cycle. Within the Asterism group of ten pieces allocated to The Phoenix Kiln, this work ranks among the finest examples.
Handmade in Shuiji Town, Jianyang, Fujian, using local iron-rich clay and naturally iron-bearing mineral glaze.
