- Craft challenge: The two glaze colors must be closely matched in their high-temperature firing response, while the application is carefully controlled to create a soft, gradual transition.
- Design inspiration: The expansive blue-to-purple gradient gives visual form to the Chinese expression Zi Qi Dong Lai (紫气东来), evoking auspicious purple clouds arriving from the east.
- Finish: High-fired colored glaze. Small variations in the handmade finish make each piece individual.
