Gao Kiln, as one of the five famous kilns of the Song Dynasty in China, is renowned worldwide for its classic "purple mouth and iron feet" and unique ice-crack glaze patterns. In ancient times, the crack patterns of Gao Kiln were entirely formed naturally, and the "golden threads and iron lines" texture was a beauty bestowed by nature beyond human control. This Gao Kiln incense burner, however, has achieved a breakthrough by precisely controlling the direction of the crack patterns through human craftsmanship. It not only continues the classic glaze colors and crack textures of the ancient kiln but also, with modern ingenuity, overcomes the thousand-year-old technical challenge, making each crack a rare masterpiece of craftsmanship, fully demonstrating the inheritance and innovation of intangible cultural heritage techniques.
