ABOUT THE CLAY The Zhuni clay has undergone a medium-mesh filtered (40-mu) to give a tactile and organic skin texture with subtle wrinkling due to the high shrinkage rate of Zhuni. This clay displays a deep orange-red hue, a natural, reference color for Zhuni / Zhusha（朱砂) without any artificiality.
