Breaking away from the traditional, rigid impression of black pottery and black glaze in Tenmoku, we boldly embrace the concept of "ancient glaze on new porcelain" to design a series of Tenmoku tea cups and bowls. We aim to bring art into homes and into the refined gift market.
The form, while not overtly innovative, draws inspiration from Song dynasty tea bowls, imbuing everyday life with aesthetic depth. Using them evokes a sense of returning to the tranquil tea rituals of ancient Song times.
Beyond savoring tea, appreciating the ever-changing, dazzling iridescence of the Tenmoku glaze transports the mind to another realm, enhancing the pleasure of tea tasting.
The cup shape continues the original form of the Song tea bowl, slightly enhanced for ergonomic comfort and a smooth grip. Made from high-mineral raw materials, it possesses the function of activating water quality, and each glaze color is unique. It has been tested by the Central Bureau of Standards, Ministry of Economic Affairs, R.O.C., in accordance with CNS3503, and is free of lead and cadmium.
Chinese people admire gold, as it symbolizes wealth, auspiciousness, and status (nobility, solemnity, imperial power). With the steady rise in gold prices in recent years, we were inspired to create this gold series.
The golden hue in the Iridescent Golden Tenmoku Tea Bowl is not achieved through gilding. Instead, "Xin Ke Kiln" utilizes its proprietary technology, adding rare natural metals to the glaze. This process, combined with the Tenmoku glaze, generates the distinctive golden color. Each piece is guaranteed to be fired with a single layer of glaze, making every item unique. This is an extremely challenging creation.
The Iridescent Golden Tenmoku Tea Bowl employs precise kiln-firing control techniques. During high-temperature firing, liquid phase separation occurs, resulting in unique, iridescent golden metallic colors and textures. The crystals display noble color variations depending on the angle of light, achieved through a highly refined and unique technique to produce a flawless masterpiece.

**Artistic Concept**
The Iridescent Golden Tenmoku Tea Bowl, themed "Golden Iridescence," draws inspiration from the golden light of dawn and the flowing shadows of the starry sky. The glaze shimmers with layers of gold and purple under the light, as deep as the cosmic galaxy, embodying the mystery and elegance of Eastern aesthetics. Each tea-drinking moment becomes a dialogue with nature and the soul, allowing one to experience the layers and tranquility of life.
