Both of these originated in Jian ware from Fujian during the Song dynasty (960-1279) in China, where the dark colour of the glaze was praised for the way it contrasts nicely with the froth of whisked tea.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhile most Tenmoku glazes are a simple black, occasionally the glaze recipe and the conditions in the kiln are just right, causing the ash in the glaze to separate from the iron in a way that produces beautiful metallic effects, such as the one seen on this cup, called 'yuteki', meaning 'oil-spot'.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis teacup was made by 如泉 kiln.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDimensions:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e8.8cm (3.5in) - width\u003cbr\u003e4cm (1.6in) - height\u003cbr\u003e90ml - capacity\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Very good\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis vintage item ships from Thailand\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e-----------------\u003cbr\u003eLike what you see?
