These ceramic objects with the imprint of life record the ordinary days of three meals and four seasons: the first cup of milk in the morning, a bowl of hot soup late at night, the laughter of friends when gathering, and the quiet company when reading alone. They are not updated as frequently as electronic products, but they can slowly precipitate the warmth of a family in day-to-day use.

Perhaps this is the most touching part of daily-use ceramics - it is not ostentatious, but never absent; it is not noisy, but full of the taste of life. Next time you pick up the ceramic bowls and plates at hand, you might as well pay more attention to the delicate glaze and unique patterns, and feel the beauty of life that was born from the soil, tempered by the fire, and finally gently embraced.

After all, being able to live an ordinary life with flavor is itself a great skill. And daily-use ceramics are the most intimate partners in this practice of life aesthetics.
