[MU CHUN LIFE] 50ml Tenmoku Glaze Chinese Small Teacup Wine Cup - A creation by Ye Minxiang of Yingge

→ About the Work This Tenmoku cup, with its classic Chinese small, round shape, offers versatile use for enjoying tea, coffee, or a small pour of spirits. The beauty of Tenmoku lies in the infinite variations of its glaze. The surface often displays patterns reminiscent of rabbit fur, rain streaks, oil drips, or leopard spots. The dazzling Tenmoku glaze is something only Teacher Yeh, who has dedicated decades to studying glazes, can master. From the intricate details of the patterns to the overall ambiance of the vessel, precise control over the interplay of fire, clay, and glaze is essential to produce such exquisite Tenmoku teacups. Tenmoku teacups have long been cherished by scholars and literati. In ancient times, due to numerous uncontrollable factors, potters dedicated their lives, painstakingly striving to create a perfect Tenmoku piece. Today, advancements in technology allow for greater control over many variables in the firing process, yet Tenmoku remains an exceptionally challenging type of work to master. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, this piece is designed for functionality. Teacher Yeh meticulously adjusts each item based on years of experience, ensuring every cup is comfortable to hold and durable. → Specifications Tenmoku Glaze | Chinese Small Teacup | Wine Cup Capacity: 50cc Dimensions: 6.5cm x 6.5cm x 4cm (Length x Width x Height) → Purchase Notes * Most products in this design studio are handcrafted, and the glaze or ash deposit on each piece will vary, which is part of the charm of ceramic art.
