Color: plum green, traditional shape, handcrafted, fired in a wood-fired kiln, with natural crackles.

The core differences between Ge Kiln and Di Kiln are manifested in three aspects: glaze crackles, body characteristics, and craftsmanship inheritance. Ge Kiln, which belongs to the imperial kiln system, is marked by crackled patterns (known as "golden threads and iron wires") and the "purple mouth and iron foot" feature. Di Kiln (Longquan Kiln), a representative of folk kilns, is famous for its celadon with pure glaze colors and rarely has crackled patterns.
