[Mu Chun Life] 50ml Tenmoku Glaze Chinese Small Tea Cup Wine Glass - Ye Min-Hsiang Yingge Creation

→ Product Introduction This Tenmoku tea cup features a classic Chinese small round shape, offering versatility whether you're enjoying tea, coffee, or a small libation. The beauty of Tenmoku lies in the ever-changing glaze, with surfaces often adorned with patterns resembling rabbit fur, silken rain, oil drips, or leopard spots. The dazzling Tenmoku glaze is a mastery achieved by Master Ye, who has dedicated decades to the study of glazes. From the intricate details of the patterns to the overall atmosphere of the vessel, a precise understanding of the interplay between fire, clay, and glaze is essential to create such exquisite Tenmoku teacups. Tenmoku teacups have been highly coveted by scholars and literati since ancient times. In earlier eras, due to numerous uncontrollable factors, generations of potters poured their hearts and souls into the pursuit of a perfect Tenmoku piece, dedicating their entire lives to the craft. Today, with technological advancements, many variables in the firing process have become controllable. However, Tenmoku remains an exceptionally challenging and elusive type of ceramic art. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, this piece is also designed for practical use. Master Ye has meticulously adjusted each creation based on years of experience, ensuring that every item is comfortable to hold and durable. → Product Specifications Tenmoku Glaze, Chinese Small Tea Cup, 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 varies. This is part of the charm of ceramic art; therefore, once a single piece is sold, it will not be restocked, and an identical piece cannot be found. If a piece you admire is purchased by someone else, we regret that you will need to choose another item from the design studio. We apologize for any inconvenience. Alternatively, you may contact the designer to see if a similar piece is available. * Dimensions are measured by hand and may have an error of within 0.5cm. * Pieces may exhibit some marks from the crafting process, as all items are handmade or semi-handmade. These are natural occurrences in the creation of handcrafted ceramics. * During the firing process, the natural distribution of glaze and ash deposits is normal and an emphasized characteristic of natural glazes. Ceramics are inherently natural. If you have any questions about the product, please send us a private message. * Product images are taken in a studio with adjusted lighting and environment for optimal presentation. No post-production editing is used for color enhancement.
