Ember – Tenmoku Jianzhan Tea Cup, Dark Red & Metallic Iron Glaze

Texture & Material
When the glaze cools, deep crimson and warm metallic tones form subtle, flowing patterns—like embers gently resting after the fire. The surface is smooth to the touch, yet the visual texture evokes quiet movement, a calm and lasting passion captured in dark iron-rich clay.

The Alchemy of Creation
High-iron glazes, fired at 1300°C in reduction, naturally develop deep russet, copper, and dark crimson tones. The polished surface preserves the flowing patterns without raised texture, reflecting the Eastern wabi-sabi (侘寂) aesthetic—beauty in imperfection and quiet aging.

Perfect Pairings
• Aged Pu-erh or dark oolong tea
• Whiskey or brown spirits
• Roasted nuts or chocolate desserts
