Golden Rabbit Hair Tianmu Medium Cup | Selected Edition, Original Manufacturer Quality Assurance, Crafted by Hand, Tea Ceremony Art

**Product Description and Story** 1. Departing from the conventional impression of black pottery and black glaze in Tianmu ware, we boldly adopted the concept of "Ancient Glaze, New Porcelain" to design a series of Tianmu glazed teacups and bowls. This brings artistic pieces into homes and the market for exquisite gifts. 2. While not innovative in terms of function, the shape is inspired by Song Dynasty tea bowls, enriching daily life with aesthetic depth. Using it evokes the ambiance of tea tasting from the ancient Song era. Beyond savoring tea, appreciating the ever-changing, dazzling colors of the Tianmu glaze's 曜變 effect transports one to another world, enhancing the pleasure of tea enjoyment. 3. The shape is a refined continuation of the original Song Dynasty tea bowls, ergonomically designed for a smooth grip. Made from high-mineral content raw materials, it possesses the function of activating water quality, and each glaze color is unique. Furthermore, it has been tested by the Central Bureau of Standards, Ministry of Economic Affairs, R.O.C., according to CNS3503, confirming it is free of lead and cadmium. 4. Rabbit Hair Glaze: Characterized by dense, needle-like fine patterns within the glaze, it is named for its resemblance to rabbit fur. Rabbit hair glaze originated in Jianyang, Fujian during the Song Dynasty and is one of the renowned glazes in the Tianmu series. It is a type of crystalline iron glaze. Its texture is similar to oil-spot Tianmu, possessing great artistic beauty. 5. Due to a high iron content of up to 9% in the glaze, at high temperatures, some iron from the clay body melts into the glaze. Bubbles within the glaze layer carry this iron to the surface. When the temperature reaches 1300°C, the glaze flows, and the iron forms streaks. Upon cooling, small crystals of hematite precipitate, creating the so-called rabbit hair effect. 6. Influenced by factors such as "kiln transformation," the rabbit hair patterns vary in length and thickness, with color variations including golden yellow and silver white, commonly known as "golden rabbit hair" and "silver rabbit hair," among others. 7. Materials Used: Japanese imported No. 26 porcelain clay. 8. Techniques Used: Proprietary firing curve technology in an electric kiln, with a firing time of 72 hours. 9. Production Process: Shaping (wheel throwing) → Bisque firing at 800°C → Finishing the bisqued ware (sanding) → Glazing → Glaze firing at 1320°C. 10. The firing of this 曜變 rabbit hair Tianmu is highly unstable within our Tianmu glaze series; perhaps only one piece can be selected from an entire kiln, describing its difficulty as picking one in ten thousand. Therefore, it primarily targets the collector's market. 11. Marketed under the Xinkeyao brand, it is entirely Made in Taiwan (MIT). While using traditional shapes and glazes, it achieves entirely novel products with breakthrough glaze colors. Our pricing is very accessible, suitable not only for collection but also for daily use, bringing art into homes and the exquisite gift market. We are committed to not arbitrarily increasing prices unless raw material costs rise, dedicating our products to consumers. **Creative Concept** The Golden Rabbit Hair Tianmu Medium Cup centers on the theme of "Rabbit Hair 曜變，" inspired by the rabbit hair patterns under the dawn's soft light in a tea garden, with delicate textures flowing like golden threads within the cup.
