[Mu Chun Living] 120ml Ge Ware Hand-Pulled Pottery Tea Cup Wine Cup Fine Craftsmanship by Ye Min-Xiang, Yingge

→ Product Introduction Ge Ware is one of the renowned Five Great Kilns of the Song Dynasty in China (Ru Ware, Official Ware, Ge Ware, Jun Ware, Ding Ware). Ge Ware ceramics are characterized by a special surface texture known as "ice crackle," or "kai pian" in craft terminology. Historically, these beautiful crackles were initially a flaw in ceramic production. However, rather than correcting them, artisans have long studied and refined them, transforming the ice crackle into a distinctive feature. Since ancient times, elegant scholars have often found beauty in imperfections, allowing their imaginations to imbue everyday life with artistic sentiment. Master Ye's Ge Ware ice crackle, crafted with mature firing techniques, features a translucent, lake-blue-green glaze complemented by delicate crackles. It shimmers under different lights, sometimes bright, sometimes verdant, presenting a harmonious blend of earth and glaze. With sustained contact with tea, the fine crackles deepen, enhancing the piece's lustrous quality. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, this work is designed for practical use. Master Ye meticulously adjusts each piece based on years of experience, ensuring every item is both user-friendly and durable. → Product Specifications Ge Ware Hand-thrown Tea Cup / Wine Cup Capacity: 120cc Dimensions: 7x7x6.5 (Length x Width x Height in cm) → Purchase Notes * Most products in this design 馆 are purely handmade. The glaze and ash fall on each piece are unique, which is the charm of ceramic art. Therefore, once a single piece sells out, it will not be restocked, and you will not find an identical item. If a piece you admire is purchased by someone else, unfortunately, you will need to choose another item from our design 館。We apologize for any inconvenience. Alternatively, you may contact the designer to see if a similar piece is available. * Dimensions are measured manually and may have an error of up to 0.5 cm. * Pieces may exhibit traces from the crafting process, as they are all handmade or semi-handmade. * During the firing process, natural distribution of glaze and ash fall may occur, which is entirely normal and part of what NATURE GLAZE emphasizes—the inherent naturalness of ceramics. If you have any questions about the product, please message us privately. * Product images are taken in a photo studio with adjusted lighting and environment, but no post-production editing is used. Please refer to the actual product for color accuracy, as discrepancies will not be considered defects. → Artist Introduction 【Master Ye Min-Hsiang】 Apprenticed under Professor Wu Yu-Tang ◎ Experience 1979 Kiln Department Head, San Xi Tang Ceramic Company 1986 Founder, Xiang Yi Ceramic Studio 1993 Consultant, CHEN-TANG HSUAN Ceramic Art Co., Ltd. 1998 Glaze Technical Advisor, Thai Factory, Shin Chu Pottery Co., Ltd. 1998 Master Craftsman, Ceramic Engineering Department, Yingge Vocational High School of Industry & Commerce 2001 Consultant, Shandong Factory, CHEN-TANG HSUAN Ceramic Art Co., Ltd. 2002 Vice General Manager, Jiaxing Quan You Handicrafts Co., Ltd. 2003 Production Manager, Shanghai Qidong Huatai Ceramic Products Co., Ltd. 2005 Glaze Technical Advisor, Malaysian Specialty Ceramic Company ◎ Exhibited Works 1995 Exhibition of Works by Professor Wu Yu-Tang and His Students 2010 Crystal Glaze Appraisal Exhibition, Taiwan Ceramics Museum (Title: Crystal Series Six-Color Cups) 2011 New Ceramic Product Appraisal Exhibition, Taiwan Ceramics Museum (Title: Sky Blue Ru Ware) 2011 Taiwan Ceramic Brand Classic Exhibition, Taiwan Ceramics Museum (Title: Crystal Series Six-Color Cups) 2012 Golden Award for Ceramics, Taiwan Ceramics Museum (Title: Happiness) 2012 Taiwan Excellent Craftsmanship Appraisal (Title: Happiness) 2012 Creative Products for Food Culture, Taiwan Lifestyle Craft Design Competition (Title: Abundance within Ru Ware) 2013 Selected for Taiwan Excellent Craftsmanship Appraisal (Xiang Yi Ceramic Studio) 2013 Yingge Kiln Brand Project - Featured Tableware Exhibition (Sky Blue - Lucky Tea Set) 2013 Yingge Kiln Brand Project - Featured Tableware Exhibition (Temmoku Iron Spot Glaze Bowl) 2013 Certificate of Taiwan Excellent Craftsmanship Appraisal (Camellia Pattern Incense Plate) 2014 Taiwan Creative Lifestyle Ceramics New Product Appraisal Exhibition - (Coiled Pot Tea Set) 2014 Yingge Kiln Brand Project - Trademark Licensing Appraisal - (Camellia Pattern Incense Plate) 2014 Yingge Kiln Brand Project - Trademark Licensing Appraisal - (Perfectly Round Tea Set) 2014 Yingge Kiln Brand Project - Trademark Licensing Appraisal - (Tea Leaf Colored Lid Cup) 2014 Top Ten Creative Souvenirs of New Taipei City - Creative Lifestyle Group Award (Happiness Tea Set) 2015 Yingge Kiln Brand Project - Trademark Licensing Appraisal - (Elegant Pot) 2015 Yingge Kiln Brand Project - Trademark Licensing Appraisal - (Temmoku Cups - Gold, Red Gold, Green Gold, 3 types) 2015 Yingge Kiln Brand Project - Trademark Licensing Appraisal - (Happiness Tea Set) 2016 Top Ten Creative Souvenirs of New Taipei City - Creative Lifestyle Group Award (Lucky Tea Set) 2020 "2020 New Taipei City Featured Product Selection" - Nominated in the Lifestyle Goods Category for "Lid Bowl Tea Ware" 2021 Yingge Kiln Brand Project - Trademark Licensing Appraisal - (NATURE GLAZE Coffee Filter Cup) 2022 National Taiwan Craft Research and Development Center - Taiwan Green Craft Selection - (NATURE GLAZE Coffee Filter Cup) 2023 National Taiwan Craft Research and Development Center - Taiwan Green Craft Selection - (Maze Filter Cup) 2023 National Taiwan Craft Research and Development Center - Taiwan Green Craft Selection - (Small Rim Cup) 2025 "Objects Find Their Place" - Exhibition on Life Rituals (NATURE GLAZE Coffee Filter Cup) 2026 Quan Lian Shan Mei Cultural & Arts Foundation - Yilan Traditional Arts Center Artisan Gallery Exhibition and Sale
