Coral Sands 01

This tea cup is part of a small collection of ceramics from Wei’s most recent wood-firing at the Shadbolt Centre of Arts in Burnaby, BC.

Wei throws each cup carefully by hand. The pieces are air-dried for 3 days until they are bone dry before trimming and then bisque firing. The cup was wood-fired for 3 days in the kiln, with temperatures maintained at 1400 degrees Celsius. It took around 3 additional days for the wood-fired kiln to slowly drop in temperature, so each piece spent a total of 6 days in the kiln.

This delightful small tea cup has an elegant shape with marvellous salmon-pink and peach hues. There are rich cracklings on both the inside and outside. A precious beauty that will enhance your daily tea ritual.

Each tea cup is one-of-a-kind.
