【Mu Chun Life】60ml Tenmoku Tea Cup Set - Auspicious Round Tea Cups / Wine Cups - A Masterpiece by Ye Min-Xiang of Yingge

→Product Introduction This Tenmoku cup, with its full, rounded form, offers versatile use whether you are enjoying tea, coffee, or a small drink. The beauty of Tenmoku lies in its ever-changing glaze colors, often featuring patterns resembling rabbit fur, raindrops, oil drips, or leopard spots on the surface. The dazzling Tenmoku is expertly managed by Teacher Yeh, who has dedicated decades to glaze research. Precise control over the interplay of fire, clay, and glaze is essential to achieve such exquisite detail in the patterns and the overall ambiance of the vessel, resulting in these stunning Tenmoku tea cups. Historically, Tenmoku tea cups have been highly sought after by scholars and literati. In ancient times, due to numerous uncontrollable factors, potters could only meticulously strive, pouring their heart and soul into creating a perfect Tenmoku piece, a lifelong pursuit. Today, with technological advancements, many variables in Tenmoku firing can be controlled. However, Tenmoku remains an exceptionally challenging and difficult type of ceramic to master. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, this piece is designed for practicality. Teacher Yeh has carefully refined each item based on years of experience, ensuring that every piece is comfortable to hold and durable. →Product Specifications Tenmoku Pair Cups - Rounded Tea Cup / Wine Cup Capacity: 60cc Dimensions: 7.5cm x 7.5cm x 4cm (Length x Width x Height) →Purchase Notes * Most products in this design studio are handmade, and the glaze or ash deposit on each piece will vary, which is part of the charm of ceramic art. Therefore, once a piece is sold out, it will not be restocked, and an identical piece cannot be found. If a piece you admire is purchased by someone else, we regret that you will need to choose another item from the studio's collection. We apologize for any inconvenience. You may also contact the designer to see if a similar piece is available. * Dimensions are measured by hand and may have a margin of error within 0.5cm. * Pieces may exhibit minor marks from the crafting process, as all items are handmade or semi-handmade. * During the firing process, natural variations in glaze and ash deposits may occur, which is normal and characteristic of natural glazes, reflecting the inherent nature of ceramics. If you have any questions about the product, please feel free to message us. * Product colors are depicted as accurately as possible, as the items are photographed in a studio with adjusted lighting and environment. No post-production editing is used. Please refer to the actual product for color accuracy, as discrepancies will not be considered defects. →Artist Introduction 【Yeh, Min-Hsiang】 Apprenticed under Professor Wu Yu-Tang ◎Experience 1979 Kiln Department Manager, San Xi Tang Ceramic Company 1986 Founder, Xiang Yi Ceramics Studio 1993 Consultant, Gan Chuan Heng Art & Craft Co., Ltd. 1998 Glaze Technical Advisor, Thai Factory, Xin Zhu Pottery Co., Ltd. 1998 Master, Ceramics Department, Yingge Vocational High School 2001 Consultant, Shandong Factory, Gan Chuan Heng Art & Craft Co., Ltd. 2002 Deputy General Manager, Jia Xing Quan You Handicraft Products Co., Ltd. 2003 Production Manager, Shanghai Qidong Huatai Ceramic Products Co., Ltd. 2005 Glaze Technical Advisor, Malaysian Specialty Ceramic Company ◎Exhibited Works 1995 Joint Exhibition of Teachers and Students under Professor Wu Yu-Tang 2010 Crystal Glaze Appraisal Exhibition, Taiwan Ceramic Museum (Title: Crystal Series Six-Color Cups) 2011 New Ceramic Product Appraisal Exhibition, Taiwan Ceramic Museum (Title: Sky Blue Ru Ware) 2011 Classic Taiwan Ceramic Brand Exhibition, Taiwan Ceramic Museum (Title: Crystal Series Six-Color Cups) 2012 Golden Award for Ceramic Art, Taiwan Ceramic Museum (Title: Happiness) 2012 Taiwan Excellent Handicraft Appraisal (Title: Happiness) 2012 Taiwan Lifestyle Craft Design Competition - Food Culture Creative Product (Title: Abundance within Ru Ware) 2013 Selected for Taiwan Excellent Handicrafts (Xiang Yi Ceramics Studio) 2013 Yingge Kiln Brand Project - Tableware Appraisal Exhibition (Sky Blue - Lucky Tea Set) 2013 Yingge Kiln Brand Project - Tableware Appraisal Exhibition (Tenmoku Iron Spot Glaze Bowl) 2013 Taiwan Excellent Handicraft Certificate of Appreciation (Camellia Pattern Incense Plate) 2014 Taiwan Creative Life · New Ceramic Product Appraisal Exhibition - (Curved Pattern Pot Tea Set) 2014 Yingge Kiln Brand Project - Trademark Licensing Appraisal - (Camellia Pattern Incense Plate) 2014 Yingge Kiln Brand Project - Trademark Licensing Appraisal - (Rounded Tea Set) 2014 Yingge Kiln Brand Project - Trademark Licensing Appraisal - (Tea Leaf Mottled Covered Cup) 2014 New Taipei City Top Ten Quality Souvenirs - Creative Lifestyle Group Awarded - (Happiness Tea Set) 2015 Yingge Kiln Brand Project - Trademark Licensing Appraisal - (Elegant Pot) 2015 Yingge Kiln Brand Project - Trademark Licensing Appraisal - (Tenmoku Cup - Golden Yellow, Red Gold, Green Gold - 3 styles) 2015 Yingge Kiln Brand Project - Trademark Licensing Appraisal - (Happiness Tea Set) 2016 New Taipei City Top Ten Quality Souvenirs - Creative Lifestyle Group Awarded - (Lucky Tea Set) 2020 "2020 New Taipei City Featured Product Selection" - Nominated for Lifestyle Goodies Group with "Covered Bowl Tea Set" 2021 Yingge Kiln Brand Project - Trademark Licensing Appraisal - (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 "Objects in Their Proper Place" - Lifestyle Ritual Exhibition (Natural Glaze Coffee Dripper) →Studio Story Located in Yingge, Taiwan, this local ceramic studio is committed to designing and producing exclusively in Taiwan, offering aesthetic and practical ceramic coffee ware.
