[Mùchūn Life] 60ml Tenmoku Glaze Complete Tea Cup Wine Cup Master Ye Min-Hsiang's Work from Yingge

→ Product Introduction This Tenmoku cup, with its full, rounded form, offers versatile use whether you're savoring tea, enjoying coffee, or indulging in a small drink. The beauty of Tenmoku lies in the ever-changing glaze. Its surface often features distinct patterns resembling rabbit fur, streaks of rain, oil drops, or leopard spots. The dazzling Tenmoku is a technique that only Master Yeh, with his decades of glaze research, can master. From the intricate details of the patterns to the overall ambiance of the vessel, precise control over the interplay of fire, earth, and glaze is essential to fire such exquisite Tenmoku teacups. Historically, Tenmoku teacups have been highly sought after by scholars and literati. In ancient times, due to numerous uncontrollable factors, potters of past dynasties had to rack their brains and pour their hearts into creating a perfect Tenmoku piece, dedicating their lives to the pursuit. Today, with technological advancements, many variables in Tenmoku firing can be controlled. However, Tenmoku remains an extremely challenging and difficult type of work to master. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, this piece is also designed for practicality. Master Yeh meticulously adjusts each piece based on his years of experience, ensuring that every creation is both comfortable to hold and durable. → Product Specifications Tenmoku Glaze | Perfect Circle Cup | Wine Cup Capacity: 60cc Dimensions: 7.5cm x 7.5cm x 4cm (Length x Width x Height) → Purchase Notes * Most products in this design studio are handcrafted, and the glaze or ash deposit on each piece will vary, which is part of the charm of ceramic art. Therefore, once a piece is sold, it will not be restocked, and an identical piece cannot be found. If a piece you like is purchased by someone else, we apologize, and you will need to choose another item from our design studio. Alternatively, you may contact the designer to see if a similar piece is available. * Dimensions are measured by hand and may have a margin of error within 0.5 cm. * Pieces may exhibit some marks from the crafting process, as all items are handmade or semi-handmade. Minor operational marks are to be expected. * During the firing process, natural distribution of glaze and ash deposits may occur, which is normal and characteristic of natural glazes. Ceramics are inherently natural. If you have any questions about the product, please send us a private message. * Product colors are represented as accurately as possible, although minor variations may occur due to studio lighting and environment adjustments during photography. No post-production editing is used.
