【Autumn/Winter Gift】240ml Iron Spot Tenmoku Glaze "Complete" Teapot by Master Yeh Min-Hsiang

→ Product Introduction This piece features a rounded, full teapot shape, presenting a charming and substantial overall form. It embodies a classic teapot silhouette, designed to hold tea leaves and retain heat once covered, allowing them to steep perfectly. It's the ideal choice for simply enjoying a delightful cup of tea. The beauty of Tenmoku lies in its ever-changing glaze colors. The surfaces often display distinct textures resembling rabbit fur, rain streaks, oil drips, or leopard spots. The dazzling Tenmoku glazes are mastered by Teacher Ye, who has dedicated decades to studying glazes. To achieve such exquisite Tenmoku teapots, precise control over the interplay of fire, clay, and glaze is essential, capturing the subtle details of the textures and the overall ambiance of the vessel. Since ancient times, Tenmoku ceramics have been revered by scholars and literati. In the past, due to numerous uncontrollable factors, generations of potters poured their hearts and souls into creating a single perfect Tenmoku piece, dedicating their entire lives to the pursuit. Today, with advancements in technology, many variables in Tenmoku firing can be controlled. However, Tenmoku remains an exceptionally challenging and difficult type of ceramic to master. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, this piece is also designed for practicality. Teacher Ye meticulously fine-tunes each creation based on years of experience, ensuring every piece is comfortable to hold and durable. → Product Specifications Iron Spot Tenmoku Glaze "Round Perfection" Teapot Capacity: 240cc Dimensions: 9x14x9 (Length x Width x Height cm) → Purchase Notes * Most products in this design studio are handmade, and the glaze or ash fall on each piece will vary, which is precisely the charm of pottery. Therefore, once a single piece sells out, it will not be restocked, and an identical piece cannot be found. If a piece you like is purchased by someone else, we apologize, but you will need to choose another item from the design studio, or you can contact the designer to see if a similar piece is available. * Dimensions are measured manually and may have a slight error of up to 0.5 cm. * Pieces may exhibit some marks from the crafting process, as all items are handmade or semi-handmade. These are normal. * During the firing process, natural variations in glaze and ash fall distribution may occur. This is entirely normal and is what NATURE GLAZE emphasizes; ceramics are inherently natural. If you have any questions about the product, please send us a private message. * Product images are taken in a studio with adjusted lighting and environment, but no post-production editing is applied. Please refer to the actual product color, as variations cannot be considered defects. → Artist Introduction 【Teacher Min-Hsiang Yeh】 Apprenticed under Professor Yu-Tang Wu ◎ Experience 1979 Kiln Department Head, San Xi Tang Ceramic Company 1986 Founder, Xiang Yi Ceramic Studio 1993 Consultant, Ganci Art Ceramics Co., Ltd. 1998 Glaze Technical Advisor, Thai Factory, Xin Zhu Pottery Co., Ltd. 1998 Master Craftsman, Ceramics Department, Yingge Vocational High School of Industry and Commerce 2001 Consultant, Shandong Factory, Ganci Art Ceramics Co., Ltd. 2002 Deputy General Manager, Jiaxing Quan You Handicrafts Co., Ltd. 2003 Production Manager, Shanghai Qidong Huatai Ceramic Products Co., Ltd. 2005 Glaze Technical Advisor, Malaysian Specialty Ceramics Company ◎ Exhibited Works 1995 Professor Yu-Tang Wu's Faculty and Student Joint Exhibition 2010 Taiwan Ceramics Museum Crystalline Glaze Evaluation Exhibition (Title: Crystal Color Series Six-Color Cups) 2011 Taiwan Ceramics Museum New Ceramic Product Evaluation Exhibition (Title: Sky Blue Ru Ware) 2011 Taiwan Ceramics Museum Taiwan Ceramic Brand Classic Exhibition (Title: Crystal Color Series Six-Color Cups) 2012 Taiwan Ceramics Museum Ceramic Golden Award (Title: Happiness) 2012 Taiwan Excellent Handicraft Evaluation (Title: Happiness) 2012 Taiwan Lifestyle Craft Design Competition - Food Culture Creative Product (Title: Abundance within Ru) 2013 Taiwan Excellent Handicraft Selection (Xiang Yi Ceramic Studio) 2013 Taiwan Yingge Kiln Brand Project - Specialty Tableware Evaluation Exhibition (Sky Blue - Lucky Tea Set) 2013 Taiwan Yingge Kiln Brand Project - Specialty Tableware Evaluation Exhibition (Tenmoku Iron Spot Glaze Bowl) 2013 Taiwan Excellent Handicraft Certificate of Evaluation (Camellia Pattern Incense Plate) 2014 Taiwan Creative Life · New Ceramic Product Evaluation Exhibition - (Curved Pattern Teapot Tea Set) 2014 Taiwan Yingge Kiln Brand Project - Trademark Licensing Evaluation - (Camellia Pattern Incense Plate) 2014 Taiwan Yingge Kiln Brand Project - Trademark Licensing Evaluation - (Round Perfection Tea Set) 2014 Taiwan Yingge Kiln Brand Project - Trademark Licensing Evaluation - (Tea Leaf Green Glazed Cup) 2014 New Taipei City Top Ten Quality Souvenirs Creative Lifestyle Group Award - (Happiness Tea Set) 2015 Taiwan Yingge Kiln Brand Project - Trademark Licensing Evaluation - (Elegant Pot) 2015 Taiwan Yingge Kiln Brand Project - Trademark Licensing Evaluation - (Tenmoku Cups - Golden Yellow, Red Gold, Green Gold, 3 types) 2015 Taiwan Yingge Kiln Brand Project - Trademark Licensing Evaluation - (Happiness Tea Set) 2016 New Taipei City Top Ten Quality Souvenirs Creative Lifestyle Group Award - (Lucky Tea Set) 2020 "2020 New Taipei City Specialty Products Selection" Finalist for Lifestyle Goods - (Lid Bowl Tea Ware) 2021 Taiwan Yingge Kiln Brand Project - Trademark Licensing Evaluation - (NATURE GLAZE Coffee Dripper) 2022 National Taiwan Craft Research and Development Center - Taiwan Green Craft Selection - (NATURE GLAZE Coffee Dripper) 2023 National Taiwan Craft Research and Development Center - Taiwan Green Craft Selection - (Maze Dripper) 2023 National Taiwan Craft Research and Development Center - Taiwan Green Craft Selection - (Small Rim Cup) 2025 Material Appropriateness - Lifestyle Ritual Exhibition (NATURE GLAZE Coffee Dripper) → Design Studio Story A local ceramic studio in Yingge, Taiwan, with design and production firmly rooted in Taiwan, offering beautiful and practical ceramic coffee ware.
