Ink Wash landscape– Handmade Jianzhan Tea Cup with Ink-Style Tenmoku Glaze

Texture & Material
A Song Dynasty landscape distilled into glaze—celadon-dark "mountains" slope into ginger-ochre "rivers", their mineral-rich currents branching like scholar’s ink strokes. Occasional iron-spot "birds" punctuate the composition, their metallic haloes echoing ancient shan shui paintings.

The Alchemy of Creation
Base Glaze: Iron-celadon (FeO-SiO₂-Al₂O₃) fired at 1250°C in reduction for jade depth.
Ochre Veins: Titanium-manganese (TiO₂-MnO₂) deposits migrate during slow cooling.
Iron Spots: Magnetite (Fe₃O₄) clusters form where glaze thickness exceeds 0.3mm.

Perfect Pairings
• Dragonwell green tea (Longjing)
• Sake or Baijiu (Chinese spirit)
