Colorful carp leaping cup Wood-fired glazed tea cup

🐟 About the Work This cup echoes the "Leaping Golden Carp Jug," a pair of jugs and cups. The design features a colorful carp swimming among water plants. Unlike typical wood-fired pottery, this cup features a carp painted in glaze before being kiln-fired. However, the flames and ash from wood-fired pottery often obscure the design or cause the color to shrink. The fact that this cup remains clear after high-temperature wood-fired pottery is truly rare. 🔥 Characteristics of Wood-Fired Pottery • Natural ash and fire marks impart a unique metallic luster. • The vibrant colors of the colorful carp motif complement the rustic charm of the wood-fired pottery. • Hand-carved and painted, each one is unique. 🍵 User Experience Perfect for enjoying tea or any beverage. The cup is small and round, comfortable to hold. The tea, illuminated by the fire and color, adds a touch of spirit. 🎁 Collection and Meaning Carp symbolizes good fortune, courage, and advancement. This cup can be added to a carp pot collection set, or it can stand alone as a highlight at a tea ceremony, making it a unique and meaningful gift for personal use. ｜Pre-Purchase Information｜ 1.
