The tea cup pictured is a unique and exquisite piece, boasting a 70ml capacity, perfect for savoring premium teas. It features a Tenmoku glaze, a technique that originated in East Asia and is celebrated for its rich, lustrous glazes that can range from dark brown to black. The glaze on this cup emulates the aesthetic of rust, with warm, earthy tones that suggest an organic patina developed over time.
This cup is a combination of coarse pottery porcelain, known for its robust and hearty feel, and the sophisticated Tenmoku glaze which gives it a distinct sheen and depth. The "Rust Fancy Glaze" adds a unique touch, creating a finish that resembles the natural oxidation process, which is both visually striking and tactilely pleasing.
The cup's design and glazing process make it a standout piece, aligning with the aesthetics of wabi-sabi, the Japanese philosophy that finds beauty in imperfection and transience. It's ideal for those who appreciate the craftsmanship involved in creating complex glazes and the serene, contemplative experience of tea drinking.
