Abstract: Past human civilization reappears in modern times but with new ideas and forms. It glows with boundless vitality and charm. People look forward to aesthetic activities for more freedom of emotional expression and a richer emotional excitation, and the emergence of incompleteness fills up this gap. The so-called "incompleteness," on the body or in the inside has the beauty of its own, which overpowers some local or external defects and tenaciously shows itself. Ceramics is a unique art, an art of clay and fire. In the long gallery of the recorded history on ceramics, localized defects are the reminders of the regrettable and unfortunate. They are not ugly, not at all the factors of disharmony that will undermine the overall beauty, but, on the contrary, the indispensable parts of it.
Keywords: beauty of incompleteness, aesthetic value, beauty of clay, beauty of fire
