[Good gift] 340ml hand-thrown mug coffee cup slow fire elegant style Xu Tingjia life pottery

→Introduction of the work I have known Teacher Xu for about eight or nine years. I remember the first time he walked into the coffee shop I opened. He had a youthful and immature look on his face. He was a great boy. Our relationship evolved from a stranger to a regular customer and then to a friend. I watched Xu grow into Teacher Xu. I also went to see his graduation exhibition held in Bopiliao, it was very exciting! To this day, the background picture of my mobile phone is still that whale. If you have the chance, you must go to Yilan to see the ceramic sculpture of the whale in person. In addition to being lifelike, the work shows the importance attached to the environment and ecology, as well as the whale's state of mind as it grows step by step. The Taiwan Island carried on its back represents both hope for this land and helplessness towards this land. A lot of ideas and spirits are presented in that series of works, which is really wonderful. Every piece of work is the teacher's masterpiece. From the glaze color to the shape, they are the result of careful consideration. Practicality is the most important element for Teacher Xu. "The Tao of Life" is the phrase that Teacher Xu says most often! On the bottom of the vessel is the signature "嘉" in official script written by Mr. Xu. Every stroke conveys Mr. Xu's persistence in his work and his love for ceramics. I hope we can all get better and better, and the world can become peaceful and stable. I also hope that our friends who like us can continue to support us and cheer us on. →Work Specifications Hand-thrown mug coffee cup Capacity: about 340ml Size: about 8x12x10.4 (length, width and height cm) →Purchase Notes ＊Most of the products in this design gallery are handmade, and the glaze or dust of each piece is different, which is also the charm of ceramics. Therefore, if a single piece is sold out, it will not be restocked, and you cannot find exactly the same piece. So if your favorite piece is bought by someone else, it’s a pity. You can only choose other works in the design gallery. Please forgive me! Or contact the designer to see if there are any similar works. ＊The size is measured manually, so the error may be within 0.5 cm ＊The works may have some traces of the production process, so all the works are handmade or semi-handmade, and there will be more or less some traces of operation. ＊During the firing process, the glaze may have some natural distribution phenomenon, which is completely normal.
