【Mù Chūn Life】120ml Tenmoku Glaze Tea Cup, Tea Bowl, Wine Cup by Renowned Artist Yeh Min-Hsiang of Yingge

→ Product Introduction This Tenmoku cup features a medium-sized, round silhouette, offering versatility whether you're enjoying tea or coffee. The beauty of Tenmoku lies in the infinite variations of its glaze. The surface of the ceramic often features textures reminiscent of rabbit fur, rain streaks, oil drips, or leopard spots. The captivating Tenmoku glaze is mastered by Master Ye, who has dedicated decades to perfecting glazes. Achieving such exquisite Tenmoku ware requires a precise understanding of the interplay between fire, clay, and glaze, evident in the meticulous details of the patterns and the overall ambiance of the vessel. Tenmoku ware has historically been highly sought after by scholars and literati. In ancient times, numerous uncontrollable factors compelled potters to strive relentlessly, pouring their hearts and souls into creating a single perfect Tenmoku piece, a lifelong pursuit. Today, advancements in technology offer greater control over variables in Tenmoku firing, yet it remains an exceptionally challenging category of ceramic art. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, this piece is designed for usability. Master Ye meticulously adjusts each creation based on years of experience, ensuring every item 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 in cm) → Purchase Notes * Most products in this design hall are purely handmade. The glaze or ash deposit on each piece will vary, which is part of the charm of ceramic art. Once a single piece sells out, it will not be restocked, and an identical piece cannot be found. Therefore, if you miss out on a piece you like, unfortunately, you will need to choose another item from the design hall. 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 0.5 cm. * The pieces may exhibit some traces from the crafting process. As these are handmade or semi-handmade items, some operational marks are to be expected. * During the firing process, the natural distribution of glaze and ash deposits is normal and is precisely what is celebrated in natural glazes, as ceramics are inherently natural. If you have any questions about the product, please send us a private message. * Products are photographed in a 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 Supervisor, San Xi Tang Ceramics Co. 1986 Founder, Xiang Yi Ceramics Studio 1993 Consultant, Gan Tang Xuan Arts & Crafts Co., Ltd. 1998 Glaze Technical Advisor, Thai Factory, Xin Zhu Pottery Co., Ltd. 1998 Master, Ceramics Department, Yingge Vocational High School of Industry and Commerce 2001 Consultant, Shandong Factory, Gan Tang Xuan Arts & Crafts Co., Ltd. 2002 Vice President, Jiaxing Quanyou Handicrafts Co., Ltd. 2003 Production Manager, Shanghai Qidong Huatai Ceramic Products Co., Ltd. 2005 Glaze Technical Advisor, Malaysian Specialty Ceramics Company ◎ Exhibited Works 1995 Wu Yu-Tang Professor & Student Joint Exhibition 2010 Crystal Glaze Appraisal Exhibition, Taiwan Ceramics Museum (Piece Name: Crystal Series Six-Color Cups) 2011 New Ceramic Product Appraisal Exhibition, Taiwan Ceramics Museum (Piece Name: Celestial Blue Ru Ware) 2011 Classic Taiwan Ceramic Brand Exhibition, Taiwan Ceramics Museum (Piece Name: Crystal Series Six-Color Cups) 2012 Golden Award for Ceramics, Taiwan Ceramics Museum (Piece Name: Happiness) 2012 Taiwan Excellent Handicraft Appraisal (Piece Name: Happiness) 2012 Taiwan Life Craft Design Competition - Food Culture Creative Product (Piece Name: Ru Ware Holds Abundance) 2013 Selected for Taiwan Excellent Handicrafts (Xiang Yi Ceramics Studio) 2013 Yingge Kiln Brand Plan - Specialty Tableware Appraisal Exhibition (Celestial Blue - Lucky Tea Set) 2013 Yingge Kiln Brand Plan - Specialty Tableware Appraisal Exhibition (Tenmoku Iron Spot Glaze Bowl) 2013 Certificate of Taiwan Excellent Handicrafts Appraisal (Tea Flower Pattern Incense Burner) 2014 Taiwan Creative Living · New Ceramic Product Appraisal Exhibition - (Curved Pattern Pot Tea Set) 2014 Yingge Kiln Brand Plan - Trademark Licensing Appraisal - (Tea Flower Pattern Incense Burner) 2014 Yingge Kiln Brand Plan - Trademark Licensing Appraisal - (Perfect Tea Set) 2014 Yingge Kiln Brand Plan - Trademark Licensing Appraisal - (Tea Leaf Green Glazed Cup) 2014 New Taipei City Top Ten Quality Souvenirs - Creative Living Group Awarded - (Happiness Tea Set) 2015 Yingge Kiln Brand Plan - Trademark Licensing Appraisal - (Elegant Pot) 2015 Yingge Kiln Brand Plan - Trademark Licensing Appraisal - (Tenmoku Cup - Gold, Red Gold, Green Gold, 3 styles) 2015 Yingge Kiln Brand Plan - Trademark Licensing Appraisal - (Happiness Tea Set) 2016 New Taipei City Top Ten Quality Souvenirs - Creative Living Group Awarded - (Lucky Tea Set) 2020 "2020 New Taipei City Featured Product Selection" - Finalist in the "Good Living Items" category for "Gaiwan Tea Set" 2021 Yingge Kiln Brand Plan - Trademark Licensing Appraisal - (Natural Glaze Coffee Dripper) 2022 National Taiwan Craft Research and Development Center - Taiwan Green Craft Selection - (Natural Glaze Coffee Dripper) 2023 National Taiwan Craft Research and Development Center - Taiwan Green Craft Selection - (Maze Dripper) 2023 National Taiwan Craft Research and Development Center - Taiwan Green Craft Selection - (Small Rim Cup) 2025 Appropriate Objects - Life Ritual Sense Special Exhibition (Natural Glaze Coffee Dripper) → Design Hall Story A local ceramic studio in Yingge, Taiwan, where design and production are firmly rooted in Taiwan, offering aesthetically pleasing and practical ceramic coffee ware.
