Celadon Tea Cup

This beautiful tea cup is part of a small collection of ceramics from Wei’s most recent soda-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 3 additional days for the wood-fired kiln to slowly drop in temperature. Each piece spent a total of 6 days in the kiln.

The cup has a beautiful and delicate crackled celadon glaze in a faint pastel green color tone. The inside is a slightly matte yellow-green color tone and has a "kiln kiss". The porcelain clay body is thin, and the elegant shape is perfect for enjoying your tea from.

Each tea cup is unique and one-of-one pieces.
