Unglazed stoneware・Knife-cut・Wood-fired
This dramatic faceted cup from ceramicist Zhang Yun Cheng was first thrown on a wheel, then knife-cut and smoothed by hand. The resulting appearance is jewel-like, with a subtle swirl pattern on the exterior.
This cup was crafted of stoneware. It entered the kiln unglazed, but emerged with a unique “glaze” of vitrified fly ash. This particular cup has a thick layer of vitrified fly ash on one side, with a peppering of “oil spots” on the surface. The cup has also been seasoned by the ceramicist, giving it an iridescent shimmer from residual tea oils.
