Obsidian Gold Iridescent Tenmoku Tea Bowl | Handcrafted Artistic Masterpiece - Elegant Tea Ceremony Ware

**Product Description and Story** Breaking away from the traditional stereotype of black pottery and black glaze in Tenmoku ware, we boldly designed a series of Tenmoku glazed teacups and bowls with the concept of "ancient glaze, new porcelain." Our aim is to bring art pieces into homes and into the refined gift market. The shape is functionally oriented rather than avant-garde, extending from the Song Dynasty tea bowls. This imbues the product with the essence of lifestyle aesthetics, allowing users to feel as if they are stepping back into the ancient Song Dynasty tea-drinking scene. Beyond savoring the tea, admiring the ever-changing, dazzling colors of the Tenmoku glaze's iridescence transports the mind to another realm, enhancing the joy of tea tasting. The cup shape continues the original form of Song Dynasty tea bowls with slight enhancements, adhering to ergonomic principles for a smooth grip. Made with high-mineral content raw materials, it possesses the function of activating water quality, and the glaze color is one-of-a-kind. Furthermore, it has been tested by the Central Bureau of Standards, Ministry of Economic Affairs, R.O.C. (CNS3503) and confirmed to be free of lead and cadmium. The golden hue of the Obsidian Gold Iridescent Tenmoku Cup is not achieved through gilding. It is the result of 'Xinko Kiln's unique technology,' where rare natural metals are added to the glaze. The gold is generated from the Tenmoku glaze itself. Each piece is guaranteed to be fired with a single layer of glaze, making every item unique. This is an exceptionally challenging creation. The Obsidian Gold Iridescent Tenmoku Cup utilizes precise kiln firing control techniques, creating interlocking processes. During high temperatures, liquid phase separation occurs, resulting in unique, multicolored metallic golden colors and textures. The crystalline structures display noble color variations depending on the angle of light, achieved through a unique and highly refined technique, resulting in a flawless masterpiece. **Product Information** Materials Used: Imported Japanese #26 Porcelain Clay Technique Used: Original Technology Production Process: Forming (Wheel Throwing) → Bisque Firing at 800°C → Refining Bisque Ware (Sanding) → Glazing → Glaze Firing at 1320°C (Firing Time: 72 Hours) Item Number: TM-5L Product Name: Obsidian Gold Iridescent Tenmoku Tea Bowl [Selected Premium Edition] Golden Leopard Print Product Contents: One piece (Exquisite Packaging) Material: Porcelain Clay Capacity: 320cc - Full Cup Weight: 250 g ±5% Product Dimensions: Top Rim Diameter 12.3cm, Base Diameter 3.5cm, Height 6.5cm Packaging Box Dimensions: 18.5x17.5x8.5cm Total Weight: 550 g ±5% **Creative Concept** The Obsidian Gold Iridescent Tenmoku Tea Bowl draws inspiration from the fusion of nature and traditional culture.
