Yuteki Tenmoku Sake Cup

Prix de vente$804.00 USD

Description

Like scattered droplets of oil shimmering on water, the Yuteki Tenmoku Sake Cup unveils a mesmerizing pattern of silvery flecks across a deep, ink-black surface. Tracing its origins back to a kiln of the Southern Song dynasty in China over 800 years ago, this glaze, also known as oil-spotted tenmoku, has captivated artisans and collectors alike with its delicate balance of darkness and light. Master ceramicist Dobuchi Yoshiaki has studied and refined this technique, breathing new life into an ancient tradition.

The intricate pattern forms as iron-rich glaze interacts with heat, creating tiny bubbles on the surface. As these burst and crystallize, they leave behind a constellation of metallic flecks, each shaped by chance and fire. Layers of precisely mixed glaze further deepen the effect, producing a surface that appears almost fluid—shifting between soft luster and deep shadow depending on the light.

Subtle yet deliberate, the slightly raised double rim frames the celestial expanse within the small cup. This detail in shape echoes Dobuchi’s dedication to form and beauty, a quiet refinement that elevates the cup beyond function. Whether cradled in hand or displayed in stillness, it invites appreciation from every angle.
