The glaze, tempered by high temperatures and prolonged kiln exposure, develops a deep, smoky grey gradient on the fire-kissed side, while the opposite side retains the pristine milky white of the original clay. This contrast is akin to morning mist (嵐) flowing through mountain valleys, a interplay of substance and void. The cup's surface is adorned with fine, dense crackling, adding a warm visual texture to the cool glaze. Its form is simple yet solid; the 112g weight provides excellent stability and a professional feel in hand, making it ideal as a central piece for pouring tea during a ceremony. The interior glaze is smooth as a mirror, clearly reflecting the clarity of the tea infusion. The spout's design has been meticulously calibrated by the artisan for a clean pour and precise cut-off. This is a masterfully crafted tea cup that merges "smoky" aesthetics with exceptional functional design. ⸻ 【 Specifications 】 ・Craftsmanship: Wood Firing (Chai Shao) ・Material: Ceramic Clay ・Dimensions: Approx. 8 x 7.8 x 7.4 cm ・Capacity: Approx. 145 ml ・Weight: Approx. 112 g ・Artisan: Nick Lin (林永章) ⸻ 【 Notes 】 ・This piece features naturally formed smoky grey gradients, making each kiln-fired variation a unique collectible. ・The crackling glaze will deepen with time and nourishment from tea infusions, developing a profound sense of history. ・Natural fire marks and micro-ash deposits on the surface are integral to the beauty of wood firing and are not considered defects. ・The pouring and cut-off characteristics have been specially calibrated by the artisan for suitability in various tea ceremonies. ・To minimize environmental impact, packaging will utilize recyclable paper materials and reused cartons, with a conscious effort to reduce plastic usage.
