The high-temperature wood-fired cup is a ceramic cup fired in a traditional wood-burning kiln, where flames and flying ash leave natural traces on its surface, making each piece a unique work of art. Variations in flame paths, ash accumulation, and kiln positioning result in distinct glazes and textures for every cup.
Wood ash melts at high temperatures (above 1200°C), reacting with clay minerals to create rich glaze colors such as caramel, metallic black, and bluish-green. The overlapping patterns of fire marks, along with crystalline glaze drips where ash accumulates, highlight the raw texture of the clay in thinner areas.
Rich in iron minerals, the cup exhibits a rustic and profound appearance after firing, further enhanced by the interaction with ash glaze. Seasoning the cup by consistently brewing one type of tea (e.g., Pu'er or Oolong) can improve the flavor of the tea over time and add a smoother patina to the cup. The thick walls retain heat effectively, making it ideal for hot beverages and enhancing the complexity of the tea's aroma. Embrace the natural pores and coarse texture—they are the distinctive marks of wood firing.
