[Mùchūn Life] 120ml Glazed Wood-Fired Hand-Pulled Pottery Tea Cup / Wine Cup, a work by Master Ye Min-Xiang

→ Product Introduction Wood firing, one of the most ancient methods of ceramic production, primarily uses wood as fuel. It requires four days of firing to reach the target temperature. The ash and oils from the burning wood then become a unique outer layer for each wood-fired piece, known as ash glaze. The artistic value of wood firing speaks for itself. The distinctive ash glaze ensures that no two pieces are ever exactly alike, making uniqueness its most revered characteristic. Thus, wood-fired creations best showcase the artist's personality and highlight the collector's discerning taste. Wood firing can generally be divided into unglazed and glazed firing. Unglazed firing involves firing the clay body directly without any glaze, revealing the most rustic texture of wood firing. Glazed firing, on the other hand, builds upon the natural ash glaze by adding the effects of different glazes, resulting in even more diverse creations. Beyond its artistic merit, the natural carbon deposits during the firing process enhance the flavor of beverages. Wood-fired vessels, whether used for boiling water or enjoying tea, can make the tea taste even sweeter and more refreshing. This inherent functional advantage elevates wood-fired ceramics beyond mere aesthetic appreciation. Therefore, excellent wood-fired pieces must be both beautiful and functional. Master Ye meticulously refines each piece with years of experience, ensuring that every item is comfortable to use and durable. → Product Specifications Glazed Wood-Fired Wheel-Thrown Tea Cup / Wine Cup Capacity: 120ml Dimensions: 8x8x5 (Length x Width x Height in cm) → Purchase Notes * Most products in this design hall are purely handmade, and the glaze or ash glaze on each piece varies. This is the charm of ceramic art. Once a piece is sold out, it will not be restocked, and an identical piece cannot be found. Therefore, if a piece you like is purchased by someone else, we regret that you will have to choose another item from the design hall. We apologize for any inconvenience. Alternatively, you may contact the designer to see if a similar piece is available. * Dimensions are measured by hand and may have a slight error of within 0.5 cm. * Pieces may show some marks from the production process, as they are all handmade or semi-handmade. * During the firing process, the glaze and ash may exhibit natural distribution phenomena, which 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 colors are based on the actual items. While the items are photographed in a studio with adjusted lighting and environment, no post-production editing is used. Therefore, please refer to the actual product color, as variations will not be considered defects. → Artist Introduction Master Ye Min-Hsiang Studied under Professor Wu Yu-Tang ◎ Experience 1979 Kiln Department Head, Sanxih Tang Ceramics Company 1986 Founder, Xiangyi Ceramics Studio 1993 Consultant, Gantanlong Art & Crafts Co., Ltd. 1998 Glaze Technical Advisor, Thai Factory, Xinzhuo Pottery Co., Ltd. 1998 Master, Ceramics Department, Yingge Vocational High School 2001 Consultant, Shandong Factory, Gantanlong Art & Crafts Co., Ltd. 2002 Deputy General Manager, Jiaxing Quanyou Handicrafts Co., Ltd. 2003 Production Manager, Shanghai Qidong Huatai Ceramic Products Co., Ltd. 2005 Glaze Technical Advisor, Malaysian Specialty Ceramics Company ◎ Exhibited Works 1995 Wu Yu-Tang Professor and Student Joint Exhibition 2010 Taiwan Ceramic Museum Crystal Glaze Appraisal Exhibition (Item Name: Crystal Series Six-Color Cups) 2011 Taiwan Ceramic Museum New Ceramic Product Appraisal Exhibition (Item Name: Tianqing Ru Ware) 2011 Taiwan Ceramic Museum Taiwan Ceramic Brand Classic Exhibition (Item Name: Crystal Series Six-Color Cups) 2012 Taiwan Ceramic Museum Golden Award for Ceramics (Item Name: Happiness) 2012 Taiwan Excellent Handicrafts Appraisal (Item Name: Happiness) 2012 Taiwan Life Craft Design Competition - Culinary Culture Creative Product (Item Name: Ru Zhong You Yu) 2013 Selected for Taiwan Excellent Handicrafts (Xiangyi Ceramics Studio) 2013 Taiwan Yingge Kiln Brand Plan - Featured Tableware Appraisal Exhibition (Tianqing - Lucky Tea Set) 2013 Taiwan Yingge Kiln Brand Plan - Featured Tableware Appraisal Exhibition (Tianmu Iron Spot Glaze Bowl) 2013 Taiwan Excellent Handicrafts Appraisal Certificate (Tea Flower Pattern Incense Holder) 2014 Taiwan Creative Life Ceramics New Product Appraisal Exhibition - (Curved Pattern Pot Tea Set) 2014 Taiwan Yingge Kiln Brand Plan - Trademark Licensing Appraisal - (Tea Flower Pattern Incense Holder) 2014 Taiwan Yingge Kiln Brand Plan - Trademark Licensing Appraisal - (Yuanman Tea Set) 2014 Taiwan Yingge Kiln Brand Plan - Trademark Licensing Appraisal - (Tea Leaf Glazed Covered Cup) 2014 New Taipei City Top Ten Quality Souvenirs - Creative Life Group Awarded - (Happiness Tea Set) 2015 Taiwan Yingge Kiln Brand Plan - Trademark Licensing Appraisal - (Elegant Pot) 2015 Taiwan Yingge Kiln Brand Plan - Trademark Licensing Appraisal - (Tianmu Cup - Golden Yellow, Red Gold, Green Gold, 3 models) 2015 Taiwan Yingge Kiln Brand Plan - Trademark Licensing Appraisal - (Happiness Tea Set) 2016 New Taipei City Top Ten Quality Souvenirs - Creative Life Group Awarded - (Lucky Tea Set) 2020 Nominated for the "2020 New Taipei City Featured Product Selection" in the "Good Living Items" category with "Covered Bowl Tea Set" 2021 Taiwan Yingge Kiln Brand Plan - Trademark Licensing Appraisal - (NATURE GLAZE Coffee Filter Cup) 2022 National Taiwan Craft Research and Development Center - Taiwan Green Craft Selection - (NATURE GLAZE Coffee Filter Cup) 2023 National Taiwan Craft Research and Development Center - Taiwan Green Craft Selection (Maze Filter Cup) 2023 National Taiwan Craft Research and Development Center - Taiwan Green Craft Selection (Small Yuan Cup) 2025 Objects with Purpose - Life Ritual Exhibition (NATURE GLAZE Coffee Filter Cup) 2026 Quannan Benevolent Culture and Arts Foundation - Yilan Traditional Arts Center Craftsmanship Hall Exhibition and Sales
