Teacup, Celadon inlay, Peony c

This teacup is hand-carved inlaid with peonies blooming in the studio garden. This is a beautiful piece with intricate inlay, a clear deep green color, and fine crazing. This piece is made by applying white mud to a teacup made on a potter's wheel, leaving it for a while to blend in, then drawing a rough sketch and carefully scraping off the excess. It is then slowly dried, bisque fired, glazed, and finally fired, taking a very long time to complete. The foot is also carefully finished. It is inscribed by hand. It fits gently in your hand and is smooth to the touch. This is a piece that would also make a great gift. You can enjoy watching the porcelain develop crazes and gain depth as you use it. About Crazing These are cracks that appear on the surface of ceramics, and are one of the things to enjoy and look out for.
