Handcrafted Ancient Shino Ware 24K Gold-Gilded Horseshoe Master Teacup - 85ml Gongfu Teacup
Handcrafted Ancient Shino Ware 24K Gold-Gilded Horseshoe Master Teacup - 85ml Gongfu Teacup
The ClayZenith Ancient Shino Ware Gilded Horseshoe Master Teacup (85ml) combines the unctuous, thick feldspathic glaze alchemy of classical Shino (Zhinoshao) pottery with hand-painted 24-karat liquid gold rim linings. Shaped in the classical Mati (Horseshoe Cup) profile, this vessel provides warm wabi-sabi tactility and courtly luxury.
Thick Feldspar Snow Glaze & 24K Gold Gilding
Fired in a slow reduction kiln at 1,280°C (2,336°F), the thick natural feldspar glaze bubbles and pools into a milky white surface with subtle iron pinholes (Citong) and fire-flashed orange blushes. Hand-painted 24K gold on the rim is fused permanently in a secondary muffle firing, creating a noble metallic frame.
