Flower Bud Cup - Wood-Fired Ceramic Tea Cup

Crafted using the wheel-throwing technique, the cup's natural opening resembles a gently unfurling flower bud, conveying a subtle and elegant posture. The surface features a lustrous ash glaze, where the flames have left soft, flowing traces within the glaze. As light shifts, it reveals a delicate sheen and depth. The rim is rounded, and the cup feels light in the hand, making it an ideal vessel for quiet tea rituals, bringing a moment of serene beauty into everyday life. ● Wheel-thrown, with soft and flowing lines ● Lustrous ash glaze texture, with a delicate, glossy sheen ● Natural color variations from wood firing, making each piece unique ● Artist: Yang Yi-Chuan ● Dimensions: Diameter 5 cm, Height 5 cm ● Capacity: 50 ml — Important Notes — ● Each ceramic piece is handcrafted by the artist, making its design and color unique.

It is impossible to fire a second identical piece, making it a worthy collectible.** Wood-fired pieces are not glazed; instead, the natural ash produced during the firing process creates a beautiful, natural, and non-toxic finish for each item.
