**Cherry Blossom Ash Glaze Drip Iron-Red Tea Bowl: The Art of Tea Ceremony, Handcrafted Ware** https://img.shoplineapp.com/media/image_clips/648d20b6118aac001761bb61/original.jpg?1686970549 **Artistic Inspiration** The Cherry Blossom Ash Glaze Tea Bowl embodies the essence of Beitou's local culture, a perfect fusion of nature and craftsmanship. Artist Lin Yu-Sheng uses the ash from cherry blossoms near his home to create the glaze, which is then fired at high temperatures, imbuing the ceramic with a hardness and luster akin to porcelain. The glaze exhibits a naturally rugged, iron-red metallic texture, resembling an artwork born from the fusion of iron ore and flame. Each piece boasts a unique texture, exuding an aura of rustic elegance. As the tea bowl is used, the glaze gradually oxidizes with the nourishment of the tea, developing deeper hues and lending a sense of ritual and cultural depth to the tea ceremony. **Product Details** The "Cherry Blossom Ash Glaze Drip Iron-Red Tea Bowl" is a meticulously crafted ceramic masterpiece by artist Lin Yu-Sheng, utilizing local materials from Beitou.
