【Autumn & Winter Gift】60ml Tenmoku Glaze "Complete" Tea Cup / Wine Cup - A Work by Renowned Yingge Artisan Ye Min-Hsiang

→ Product Introduction This Tenmoku cup, with its full, rounded form, offers versatile use whether you're enjoying tea, coffee, or a small drink. The beauty of Tenmoku lies in its ever-changing glaze colors, often featuring patterns reminiscent of rabbit fur, rain streaks, oil drips, or leopard spots. The dazzling Tenmoku glaze is mastered by Teacher Yeh, who has dedicated decades to the study of glazes. He precisely controls the interplay of fire, clay, and glaze to create intricate details in the patterns and an overall captivating atmosphere, resulting in these exquisite Tenmoku teacups. For centuries, Tenmoku teacups have been highly sought after by scholars and literati. In ancient times, due to numerous uncontrollable factors, potters of past dynasties exhausted their ingenuity and efforts, striving to create a single perfect Tenmoku piece, dedicating their lives to this pursuit. Today, with advancements in technology, many variables in Tenmoku firing can be controlled. However, Tenmoku remains an exceptionally challenging and difficult type of ceramic to master. Beyond aesthetics, this piece is also designed for functionality. Teacher Yeh meticulously adjusts each item based on his years of experience, ensuring that every cup is comfortable to hold and durable. → Product Specifications Tenmoku Glaze Round 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 gallery are handmade. The glaze and ash deposit on each piece will vary, which is part of the charm of ceramics. Therefore, once a piece is sold out, it will not be restocked, and you won't find an identical item. If a piece you like is purchased by someone else, we apologize, but you will need to choose another item from the gallery, or you can 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. * Items may show subtle marks from the crafting process, as they are all handmade or semi-handmade. * During the firing process, the glaze and ash deposits may exhibit natural distribution patterns, which is normal and inherent to natural glazes.
