Pink and White Porcelain Incense Burner with Diamond Patterns

About the Artwork

I inlayed metal (chromium) on the white porcelain base and used the chromium pink technique where the metal and glaze react from firing and the color becomes pink. By blocking the reaction, the color can become gray.
By changing the concentration of the metal slip to be inlayed and changing the firing, a pink gray gradation can be created.

I am thinking of a new direction for my artwork, taking this chromium pink technique to the next stage to create soft and warm pieces with porcelain.
In this piece, I made round patterns to be connected up to the knob, and tried to fuse the patterns with the form of the vessel. I carved the base to make circular bumps and dips, and made them overlap the pink and gray gradation circular patterns to make the patterns look three-dimensional.
