【Gifting Delight】60ml Tenmoku Pair Cup - Yuanman Tea Cup / Wine Cup by Master Yeh Min-Hsiang of Yingge

→Product Introduction This Tenmoku cup, with its full, rounded form, offers versatile use whether you're savoring tea, enjoying coffee, or indulging in a small drink. The beauty of Tenmoku lies in the ever-changing hues of its glaze, often featuring patterns reminiscent of rabbit fur, raindrops, oil drips, or leopard spots on its surface. The dazzling Tenmoku glaze is a mastery achieved by Teacher Yeh, who has dedicated decades to studying glazes. Achieving such exquisite Tenmoku teacups requires precise control over the interplay of fire, earth, and glaze to perfectly capture the intricate details of the patterns and the overall ambiance of the vessel. Historically, Tenmoku teacups have been highly esteemed by scholars and literati. In ancient times, due to numerous uncontrollable factors, potters could only dedicate their lives, pouring their hearts and souls into the pursuit of a perfect Tenmoku piece. Today, advancements in technology have brought greater control to many variables in Tenmoku firing, yet it remains an exceptionally challenging and elusive type of ceramic art. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, this piece is designed for usability. Teacher Yeh meticulously refines each item based on years of experience, ensuring every piece is comfortable to hold and durable. →Product Specifications Tenmoku Pair Cup - Yuanman Tea Cup / Wine Cup Capacity: 60cc Dimensions: 7.5 x 7.5 x 4 (Length x Width x Height in cm) →Purchase Notes * Most of the products in this design studio are purely handcrafted, and the glaze or ash deposit on each piece is unique. This is the charm of ceramic art. Once a piece is sold out, it will not be restocked, and you will not find an identical one. Therefore, if a piece you like is purchased by someone else, we apologize, but you will need to choose another item from the studio. Alternatively, you may contact the designer to see if a similar piece is available. * Dimensions are measured by hand and may have a margin of error within 0.5 cm. * Traces of the crafting process may be present on the pieces, as they are made by hand or semi-hand, and some operational marks are to be expected. * During the firing process, the natural distribution of glaze and ash deposits is normal and is part of the emphasis of natural glazes. Ceramics are inherently natural. If you have any questions about the product, please send us a private message. * Products are photographed in a studio with adjusted lighting and environment, but without any post-production editing. Please refer to the actual product for color accuracy, as variations will not be considered defects. →Artist Introduction 【Yeh, Min-Hsiang】 Apprenticed under Professor Wu Yu-Tang ◎Experience 1979 Kiln Department Head, San Hsi Tang Ceramic Company 1986 Founder, Xiang Yi Ceramic Studio 1993 Consultant, G&X Ceramic Art Co., Ltd. 1998 Glaze Technical Advisor, Thai Factory, Shin Ju Porcelain Co., Ltd. 1998 Master, Ceramics Department, Yingge Vocational High School of Industry and Commerce 2001 Consultant, Shandong Factory, G&X Ceramic Art 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 Professor Wu Yu-Tang and Students Joint Exhibition 2010 Crystal Glaze Evaluation Exhibition, Taiwan Ceramics Museum (Title: Crystal Series Six-Color Cups) 2011 New Ceramic Product Evaluation Exhibition, Taiwan Ceramics Museum (Title: Sky Blue Ru Ware) 2011 Classic Taiwanese Ceramic Brand Exhibition, Taiwan Ceramics Museum (Title: Crystal Series Six-Color Cups) 2012 Golden Award for Ceramic Art, Taiwan Ceramics Museum (Title: Happiness) 2012 Taiwan Excellent Handicraft Evaluation (Title: Happiness) 2012 Taiwan Lifestyle Craft Design Competition - Food Culture Creative Product (Title: Abundance within Ru Ware) 2013 Selection for Taiwan Excellent Handicrafts (Xiang Yi Ceramic Studio) 2013 Yingge Burn Brand Plan - Featured Tableware Evaluation Exhibition (Sky Blue - Lucky Tea Set) 2013 Yingge Burn Brand Plan - Featured Tableware Evaluation Exhibition (Tenmoku Iron Spot Glaze Bowl) 2013 Taiwan Excellent Handicraft Certificate of Appreciation (Camellia Pattern Incense Burner) 2014 Taiwan Creative Living · New Ceramic Product Evaluation Exhibition - (Curved Pattern Teapot and Cup Set) 2014 Yingge Burn Brand Plan - Trademark Licensing Evaluation - (Camellia Pattern Incense Burner) 2014 Yingge Burn Brand Plan - Trademark Licensing Evaluation - (Yuanman Tea Set) 2014 Yingge Burn Brand Plan - Trademark Licensing Evaluation - (Tea Leaf Green Glazed Covered Cup) 2014 Top Ten Creative Gifts of New Taipei City - Creative Living Group Award - (Happiness Tea Set) 2015 Yingge Burn Brand Plan - Trademark Licensing Evaluation - (Elegant Teapot) 2015 Yingge Burn Brand Plan - Trademark Licensing Evaluation - (Tenmoku Cup - Golden Yellow, Red Gold, Green Gold, 3 styles) 2015 Yingge Burn Brand Plan - Trademark Licensing Evaluation - (Happiness Tea Set) 2016 Top Ten Creative Gifts of New Taipei City - Creative Living Group Award - (Lucky Tea Set) 2020 "2020 New Taipei City Featured Products Selection" - Nominated for Lifestyle Goodies Category with "Gaiwan Tea Set" 2021 Yingge Burn Brand Plan - Trademark Licensing Evaluation - (Natural Glaze Coffee Dripper) 2022 National Taiwan Craft Research and Development Center - Taiwan Green Craft Selection - (Natural Glaze Coffee Dripper) 2023 National Taiwan Craft Research and Development Center - Taiwan Green Craft Selection - (Maze Dripper) 2023 National Taiwan Craft Research and Development Center - Taiwan Green Craft Selection - (Small Rim Cup) 2025 "Suitable for Things" - Life Ritual Sense Special Exhibition (Natural Glaze Coffee Dripper) →Studio Story A local ceramic studio in Yingge, Taiwan, where design and production are deeply rooted in Taiwan, offering aesthetic and practical ceramic coffee ware.
