(3). High-temperature burning
various kinds of colored crystal glass, and after being washed several times, placed in the die according to the specified proportion. Set the strict temperature variation curve to keep the oven temperature between. The burning lasts over 15 days, so that crystal may flow into every detail to guarantee that the work may be in a fine, novel, 3-dimensional, true and clear shape of graceful lines.
(4). One die for one work
One die can only be used to fabricate one work, and can not be used again. Large complicated works even need more dies and have to be burned several times. In view of the low rate of success, the works become more precious. They are issued in limited amounts to the whole would so that they are really worth collecting.
(5). Air bubbles in the glaze
