Standardization of handmade pottery: imperfect but proper

A set of handmade yet well-proportioned pottery. It is evident that they are hand-thrown: the surface has subtle spiral marks, the glaze thickness is uneven, and there are kiln marks at the bottom. However, the forms are well-proportioned: the rim is level, the body's axis is straight, and the proportions have been carefully considered. Imperfections are only in surface details, not in the distortion of shape. A set of three, with sizes proportionally decreasing. Avoid: using crooked and deformed rough pottery, using perfectly symmetrical, unmarked mass-produced porcelain, adding painting and patterns, making the rim of the vessels uneven.

一組手作但形狀端正的陶器。可以看出是手拉坯的:表面有細微的旋紋、釉的厚薄不勻、底部有窯燒的痕跡。但器形是端正的:口緣是水平的、器身的軸線是直的、比例是被推敲過的。不完美只在表面的細節上,不在形狀的歪斜上。三件一組,尺寸依比例遞減。避免:使用歪斜變形的粗糙陶器、使用完全對稱無痕跡的量產瓷、加入彩繪與圖案、讓器物的口緣不平整。
