Crimson Tenmoku Glaze Small Cup | Selected Premium Edition, Manufacturer Guaranteed Quality, Top Choice for Tea Ceremony Collections

'Crimson Tenmoku' is a variety of Hè Mù (Hedgehog Eye) Tenmoku glaze. Hè Mù Tenmoku, also known as 'Rice Ear Tenmoku', is a type of Hare's Fur Tenmoku, and is a crystalline iron glaze. Its texture is similar to the Oil Spot Tenmoku, possessing great artistic beauty. Due to its needle-shaped, brownish-yellow markings, it can easily be mistaken for rice ears or rabbit fur at first glance, hence its names: Hè Mù (Hedgehog Eye) or Hare's Fur Cup Tenmoku glaze. The primary raw materials for Hè Mù Tenmoku glaze are a mixture of kaolin clay, silica, and natural wood ash, with Fe2O3 (iron oxide) used as the colorant. The Crimson Tenmoku glaze teacup boasts a lustrous, ancient elegance, with a smooth, lustrous finish that shines like congealed fat, making it worthy of your collection. At high temperatures, the bubbles formed within the glaze layer, carried to the glaze surface by the highly viscous glaze properties, and then continuously heated to 1300°C, cause the glaze layer to flow. The iron oxide then flows into stripes. These lines may be formed as the iron in the glaze melts completely, flows down, and then re-emerges upon cooling. The glaze formula used in this work is the same as that for the Persimmon Red Hè Mù (Rice Ear) Tenmoku glaze. However, the firing curve is different, resulting in a different glaze color, which we have named 'Crimson Tenmoku'. **Materials Used:** Imported Japanese No. 26 porcelain clay **Technique Used:** Unique firing curve technology in an electric kiln, with a firing duration of 72 hours **Production Process:** Forming (wheel throwing) → Bisque firing at 800°C → Trimming bisque ware (polishing) → Glazing → Glaze firing at 1320°C **Artistic Concept** The Crimson Tenmoku Glaze Small Cup, themed around 'Crimson Tenmoku', draws inspiration from the lingering hues of sunset and the passion of life in nature. Under light, the glaze displays deep reds, wine reds, and subtle variations, reminiscent of the warm light and shadow at sunset, exuding the passion and elegance of Oriental aesthetics. Each tea-drinking moment becomes a dialogue with nature and the soul, allowing you to feel the warmth and depth of life. **Detailed Product Description** This piece is handcrafted by experienced artisans using a potter's wheel, employing high-quality porcelain clay, and fired at temperatures exceeding 1300°C.
