【Autumn/Winter Gift】120ml Tenmoku Glazed Tea Cup, Tea Bowl, Wine Cup by Master Yeh Min-Hsiang of Yingge

→ Product Introduction This Tenmoku cup features a medium-sized, rounded silhouette, offering versatility for enjoying tea or coffee. The beauty of Tenmoku lies in the ever-changing glaze. The surface often features patterns resembling rabbit fur, threads of rain, oil drops, or leopard spots. The captivating Tenmoku glaze is a testament to Master Ye's decades of dedication to glaze research. Achieving such exquisite Tenmoku ware requires a precise mastery of the interplay between fire, clay, and glaze to control the intricate details of the patterns and the overall ambiance of the vessel. Tenmoku ceramics have historically been highly coveted by scholars and literati. In ancient times, due to numerous uncontrollable factors, potters of past dynasties could only pour their heart and soul into their craft, striving for a perfect Tenmoku piece, a lifelong pursuit. Today, with technological advancements, many variables in Tenmoku firing can be controlled. However, Tenmoku remains an extremely challenging and elusive type of ceramic to master. Beyond aesthetics, this piece is also designed for usability. Master Ye has meticulously refined each item based on years of experience, ensuring every piece is both comfortable to hold and durable. → Product Specifications Tenmoku Glaze Tea Cup, Tea Bowl, Sake Cup Capacity: 120cc Dimensions: 9x9x5 (Length x Width x Height cm) → Purchase Notes * Most products in this design studio are handcrafted, and the glaze or ash deposits on each piece are unique. This is precisely the charm of ceramic art. Therefore, once a piece is sold out, it will not be restocked, and an identical item cannot be found. If a piece you admire is purchased by someone else, we apologize, but you will need to select another item from the studio, or contact the designer to see if a similar piece is available. * Dimensions are measured manually and may have a margin of error within 0.5 cm. * Pieces may exhibit some marks from the crafting process, as all items are handmade or semi-handmade. * During the firing process, natural variations in glaze and ash distribution may occur, which is normal and characteristic of natural glazes. Ceramics are inherently natural. If you have any questions about the product, please send us a private message. * Product colors are represented as accurately as possible. While product photos are taken in a studio with adjusted lighting and environment, no post-production editing is used. Please refer to the actual product for the most accurate color representation. Variations in color will not be considered a defect. → Artist Introduction 【Yeh, Min-Hsiang】 Apprenticed under Professor Wu Yu-Tang ◎ Experience 1979 Kiln Department Manager, San Xi Tang Ceramic Company 1986 Founder, Xiang Yi Ceramic Studio 1993 Consultant, Gan Tan Chuan Art & Craft Co., Ltd. 1998 Glaze Technical Advisor, New Pearl Pottery Co., Ltd.
