[Yingge Ceramics] Xiangyi - Xingyao Two-Cup Gift Set

Tianmu glaze refers to a black glaze primarily composed of iron compounds, characterized by a rich and varied palette, including shades of tea-yellow black, deep yellow-black, soy-sauce black, brownish-black, and net-black. Some pieces may feature diverse iron-based flowing patterns, patches, or spots. The name 'Tianmu' originates from Japan. The prevailing account is that when Japanese monks traveled to Mount Tianmu in western Zhejiang to study Buddhism, they brought back the tea bowls and methods used for tea drinking during the Song Dynasty. As the Japanese tea ceremony gained popularity, the bowls brought back from Mount Tianmu came to be known as Tianmu bowls. As the appreciation for white tea grew, the use of black-glazed bowls helped highlight the pristine whiteness of the tea, and subsequently, 'Tianmu tea bowl' became the general term for black-glazed tea bowls. Tianmu glaze—whether black, blue, red, or gathered, flowing, or pooled... A world within a cup; lift a Tianmu cup and witness a shimmering, swirling micro-universe.
