This Tenmoku tea cup is a splendid example of the profound depth and uniqueness that the Tenmoku glaze can achieve. Its size, ranging between 50-90cc, makes it perfect for the Gongfu tea ceremony, providing an intimate experience that enhances the flavor and aroma of fine tea. The glaze, a rich tapestry of browns and blacks, mimics the lustrous sheen of oil, with delicate rust-like crystal patterns that catch the light, reminiscent of a starry night sky. This effect is achieved through a meticulous firing process, where the iron oxide in the glaze undergoes a transformation at high temperatures, resulting in the distinctive and unpredictable patterns that make each piece truly one-of-a-kind.
The cup's fluted edges not only add to its elegance but also offer a tactile pleasure when held, making the act of drinking tea both a visual and sensory delight. Whether as part of a collection or as a stand-alone piece, this Tenmoku tea cup is not just a vessel for tea but a work of art that represents the pinnacle of porcelain craftsmanship. It is an excellent gift for connoisseurs or a treasured addition to any tea lover's ceremony.
