Molten – A Dance of Fire and Metal

Forged in the intense heat of over 1300°C, Molten embodies the transformative power of firing techniques that bring out the natural beauty of high-temperature Jian Zhan clay. Its captivating oil-spot glaze—reminiscent of molten lava droplets mid-flow—shimmers with rich bronze, gold, and copper hues that dance across a deep obsidian surface. Each cup is a unique expression of the kiln’s combustion, shaped by fire, mineral interactions, and the passage of time, making every piece a distinctive work of art.

Reflecting the historic craftsmanship of traditional Jian ware, specifically the esteemed Tenmoku ceramics, this bowl pays homage to centuries-old glazing and firing techniques. While rooted in these ancient traditions, it also appeals to modern collectors and tea enthusiasts through its mesmerizing iridescence and contemporary palette. The weight, subtle texture, and shimmering surface foster a grounding presence during tea meditation or Gongfu Cha practices, enriching the sensory experience with visual and tactile echoes of the kiln's fiery process.
