【Autumn/Winter Gift】48cm High Tenmoku Glaze Gold Splashed Slim Neck Vase Collectible Made by Ye Min-Hsiang, Yingge

→ About the Artwork The beauty of Tenmoku lies in the infinite variations of its glaze. The surface often displays patterns reminiscent of rabbit fur, rain streaks, oil drips, or leopard spots. The dazzling Tenmoku is a technique mastered by Master Ye, who has dedicated decades to the study of glazes. Achieving such exquisite Tenmoku ware requires a precise understanding of the interplay between fire, clay, and glaze, evident in the intricate details of the patterns and the overall atmosphere of the vessel. Historically, Tenmoku ceramics have been highly sought after by scholars and literati. In ancient times, facing numerous uncontrollable factors, generations of potters poured their hearts and souls into creating a single perfect Tenmoku piece, dedicating their lives to this pursuit. Today, with advancements in technology, many variables in Tenmoku firing can be controlled. However, it remains an exceptionally challenging and difficult type of ceramic to master. Due to its considerable size, this piece requires special delivery. Upon order confirmation, we will personally deliver it to your specified location. Please contact us directly for any specific requests. → Specifications Tenmoku Glaze with Gold Splatter Slim Neck Vase Height: 48cm Width: 26cm Rim Diameter: 8.5cm Narrowest Inner Diameter: 1cm → Purchase Notes * Most products in this design studio are purely handmade, and the glaze or ash deposit on each piece will vary. This is precisely the charm of pottery, and once a piece is sold out, it will not be restocked, nor will an identical one be found. If a piece you admire is purchased by someone else, we apologize, but you will need to choose another item from our collection. Alternatively, you may contact the designer to see if a similar piece can be created. * Dimensions are measured by hand and may have an error of within 0.5cm. * Pieces may exhibit minor marks from the crafting process, as all items are handmade or semi-handmade. * During the firing process, natural distribution of glaze and ash deposits may occur, which is entirely normal and a characteristic emphasized in natural glazes. 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 used. Please refer to the actual product for color accuracy, as variations will not be considered defects. → About the Artist 【Yeh Min-Hsiang】 Apprenticed under Professor Wu Yu-Tang ◎ Experience 1979 Kiln Department Manager, San Xi Tang Ceramic Company 1986 Founder, Xiang Yi Ceramic Studio 1993 Consultant, Gan Tang Xuan Arts & Crafts Co., Ltd. 1998 Glaze Technical Advisor, Thai Factory, Xin Zhuo Pottery Co., Ltd. 1998 Master Craftsman, Pottery Department, Yingge Vocational High School 2001 Consultant, Shandong Factory, Gan Tang Xuan Arts & Crafts Co., Ltd. 2002 Deputy General Manager, Jiaxing Quanyou Handicrafts Co., Ltd. 2003 Production Manager, Shanghai Qidong Huatai Ceramics Co., Ltd. 2005 Glaze Technical Advisor, Malaysian Specialty Ceramics Company ◎ Exhibited Works 1995 Wu Yu-Tang Professor and Student Joint Exhibition 2010 Crystal Glaze Evaluation Exhibition, Taiwan Ceramic Museum (Title: Crystal Series Six-Color Cups) 2011 New Ceramic Product Evaluation Exhibition, Taiwan Ceramic Museum (Title: Sky Blue Ru Ware) 2011 Classic Ceramic Brands Exhibition, Taiwan Ceramic Museum (Title: Crystal Series Six-Color Cups) 2012 Golden Award for Pottery, Taiwan Ceramic Museum (Title: Happiness) 2012 Taiwan Excellent Handicraft Evaluation (Title: Happiness) 2012 Taiwan Lifestyle Craft Design Competition - Food Culture Creative Product (Title: Abundance within Ru Ware) 2013 Selected for Taiwan Excellent Handicrafts Evaluation (Xiang Yi Ceramic Studio) 2013 Yingge Kiln Brand Project - Featured Tableware Evaluation Exhibition (Sky Blue - Lucky Tea Set) 2013 Yingge Kiln Brand Project - Featured Tableware Evaluation Exhibition (Tenmoku Iron Spot Glaze Bowl) 2013 Certificate of Taiwan Excellent Handicraft Evaluation (Peony Pattern Incense Plate) 2014 Taiwan Creative Life · New Ceramic Product Evaluation Exhibition - (Curved Pot Tea Set) 2014 Yingge Kiln Brand Project - Trademark Licensing Evaluation - (Peony Pattern Incense Plate) 2014 Yingge Kiln Brand Project - Trademark Licensing Evaluation - (Perfect Tea Set) 2014 Yingge Kiln Brand Project - Trademark Licensing Evaluation - (Tea Leaf Green Glazed Cup) 2014 Top Ten New Taipei City Quality Souvenirs, Creative Lifestyle Group Award - (Happiness Tea Set) 2015 Yingge Kiln Brand Project - Trademark Licensing Evaluation - (Elegant Pot) 2015 Yingge Kiln Brand Project - Trademark Licensing Evaluation - (Tenmoku Cups - Gold, Red Gold, Green Gold, 3 styles) 2015 Yingge Kiln Brand Project - Trademark Licensing Evaluation - (Happiness Tea Set) 2016 Top Ten New Taipei City Quality Souvenirs, Creative Lifestyle Group Award - (Lucky Tea Set) 2020 "2020 New Taipei City Featured Product Selection" - Nominated for the "Good Living Items" category with "Covered Bowl Tea Set" 2021 Yingge Kiln Brand Project - Trademark Licensing Evaluation - (Natural Glaze Coffee Dripper) 2022 National Taiwan Craft Research and Development Institute - Taiwan Green Craft Selection - (Natural Glaze Coffee Dripper) 2023 National Taiwan Craft Research and Development Institute - Taiwan Green Craft Selection - (Maze Dripper) 2023 National Taiwan Craft Research and Development Institute - Taiwan Green Craft Selection - (Small Rim Cup) → Our Story A local ceramic studio in Yingge, Taiwan, where design and production are deeply rooted in Taiwan.
