Gray Wood Fired Teacup
Gray Wood Fired Teacup
Handmade by a potter specializing in wood fired teaware in Jingdezhen, China, this teacup features a matte gray glaze with textures achieved by long exposure to wood firing. We especially like the rustic texture and unpretentious look of this teacup. It’s a great size for solo sessions.
Traditional wood-fired kilns have become rare in China today. The laborious process of wood-firing creates a unique and natural glazing that can’t be achieved in more common and easier to use electric kilns. The special texture, color, and pattern of wood-fired teaware is a result of direct exposure to fire and ash over a long period, making wood-fired teaware some of the most sought-after teaware today.

Additional Information:
It’s food safe, of course. And also dishwasher safe. However, I strongly recommend that you wash and dry it by hand, and use it gently. Please do not use on an open flame, gas or electric stove-top. And try to avoid alternating hot and cold, which could cause cracking.
