During the glaze's ice-cracking process, the artist intentionally deepened the textures and embellished them with dark hues. This transforms the ink-like cracks into fissures on winter ice, vividly emerging beneath the transparent glaze. The cup's surface is rich with tactile, earthy textures, offering a substantial and grounding feel. A subtle detail to appreciate is the naturally occurring "iron spots" within the base. These tiny iron flecks are proof of the clay's fiery dance in the high heat of the kiln, scattered like stars at the bottom of the cup, lending a humble, earthy essence to the clean interior. Weighing less than 100g (a mere 97g), its extreme lightness makes the tea-pouring process feel exceptionally graceful. The spout's curve has been meticulously refined for a smooth pour and clean cut-off, resulting in a piece that balances striking visual artistry with high functionality. ⸻ 【 Specifications 】 ・Craftsmanship: Wood Firing, Earth Texture Decoration, Ink Ice Crack ・Material: Ceramic Clay ・Dimensions: Approx. 8 x 8 x 6.8 cm ・Capacity: Approx. 115 ml ・Weight: Approx. 97 g ・Artist: Nick Lin ⸻ 【 Notes 】 ・This piece features exaggerated and deep ink-infused ice-crackle patterns, intentionally created by the artist as an artistic expression, and are not considered flaws. ・Natural iron spots are visible inside the cup's base, showcasing the organic characteristics of ceramic clay combined with wood firing. ・Visible natural crazing, black spots, and ash layers on the surface are all normal phenomena. ・The pour and cut-off have been specially calibrated for use in various tea ceremonies. ・To minimize environmental impact, shipments are packaged using recyclable paper materials and reused cardboard boxes, with minimal plastic usage.
