Flower God Cup

This teacup is referred to as a "Flower God Cup" by the artist because of its distinctive shape and wild colors. The cup’s flared rim and narrowing base resemble a blooming flower, symbolizing the beauty of nature and growth. In traditional Chinese culture, flowers and tea have long been associated with a gracious, refined lifestyle—a life that embraces the serene beauty of nature and a mindful tea ceremony.

The color of this cup is as unique as its form, resembling the rich texture of modern oil paintings. The deep, vibrant hues are the result of the high-temperature kiln transformation process, a technique that is central to the "kiln-change glaze" phenomenon. Each tea cup undergoes a unique transformation every time it is fired, creating a completely one-of-a-kind piece. The phrase "one color entering the kiln, a thousand colors coming out" perfectly captures the nature of this glazing process. The subtle variations in color and texture make each cup distinct and personal, ensuring no two cups are alike.

Much like other kiln-change ceramics, the firing environment influences the final result, which is why this tea cup features dynamic, beautiful, and unpredictable glazes. The captivating swirl of colors on this cup evokes the elegance of both traditional and modern art, making it not just a functional object but a piece of art. The delicate interaction of the glaze with the high temperature creates a mesmerizing and layered finish, giving each cup a unique character and charm.
