A closer look
This handmade tea cup is shaped in a conical douli, or bamboo-hat, silhouette, featuring a wide, flared rim that tapers sharply down to a small, narrow circular foot ring. The exterior surface is finished in a deep, lustrous glaze that reads as a dark oxblood or brownish-black, exhibiting a high-gloss, glass-like reflectivity that catches sharp highlights along the rim and the outer wall. The interior reveals a more complex, variegated glaze effect: a rich, dark reddish-brown field radiates outward from a central pool of pale, mottled cream and grey-blue tones, creating a starburst or floral pattern with fine, streaky striations. This central area appears slightly more matte or satin compared to the highly polished rim, suggesting a reactive glaze technique where mineral pigments have pooled and crystallized during firing.
The form is characterized by its elegant, sweeping curves and precise symmetry, with the thin, even rim providing a delicate edge finish. The transition from the broad interior to the narrow base is smooth and continuous, emphasizing the cup's lightweight and refined construction. The glaze application appears uniform across the exterior, with subtle variations in tone that suggest depth and handcrafted character. The overall aesthetic draws on traditional ceramic styles, combining a classic utilitarian shape with a sophisticated, contemporary glaze treatment that highlights the interplay of light and dark tones.
The cup is documented as being fired at a high temperature of 1230 degrees, a specification that indicates a robust, vitrified ceramic body capable of withstanding the rigors of tea service. This high-temperature firing contributes to the glassy, durable surface of the glaze and the structural integrity of the piece. The material is a ceramic clay body, though the specific clay type is not detailed beyond its suitability for high-fire glazing. The dimensions, weight, and capacity are not explicitly provided in the available data, but the visual scale relative to a human hand suggests a compact, individual-sized vessel designed for focused tea tasting.
The design emphasizes the tactile and visual qualities of the glaze, with the dark, reflective exterior contrasting against the intricate, lighter-toned interior pattern. The foot ring is cleanly defined, providing a stable base while maintaining the cup's delicate profile. The absence of handles or additional ornamentation focuses attention on the purity of the form and the complexity of the glaze surface. The piece is intended for use as a tea cup, suitable for appreciating the color and aroma of brewed tea, and its design reflects a balance between traditional craftsmanship and modern aesthetic sensibilities.
The high-precision imagery reveals a surface that is free of visible cracks, chips, or significant imperfections, indicating careful craftsmanship and quality control. The glaze exhibits a consistent, mirror-like finish on the exterior, with the interior pattern showing a controlled yet organic variation in color and texture. The interplay of light across the curved surfaces highlights the three-dimensional quality of the form and the depth of the glaze layers. This tea cup represents a functional object elevated through material expertise and artistic glaze work, designed for both practical use and visual appreciation.
