This exquisite Tenmoku tea bowl, meticulously crafted by renowned artisan Liang-yang Shao 邵椋揚, embodies the timeless aesthetics of Song Dynasty Tenmoku ware while incorporating his distinctive firing techniques. The result is a truly unique and mesmerizing glaze variation.
The glaze is deep and refined, adorned with delicate oil spot patterns reminiscent of the intricate plumage of a partridge. The finely speckled surface, characteristic of the “Partridge Feather” effect, showcases a natural crystallization process that creates a rich visual texture, giving the bowl an elegant and dynamic appearance.
Through high-temperature reduction firing, the iron-rich glaze undergoes a complex transformation, forming distinct, feather-like oil spots that shimmer subtly under light. This meticulous process results in a bowl that is both visually captivating and rich in traditional Tenmoku craftsmanship.
With its graceful form and smooth texture, this tea bowl is designed to enhance the tea-drinking experience. As tea flows within the vessel, the harmony between glaze and form invites a moment of reflection, allowing tea lovers to appreciate the refined beauty of Partridge Feather Tenmoku artistry.
