We always have our eyes out for glazes like this; thick, soft, and specked.
While we don’t know the history of this glaze, we have seen it pop up from time to time on teaware here in China.Every time, we try to snatch up as many pieces glazed in such a way.
The cup itself fits solidly into the hand, the glaze feels like a thick pillow on the bones of clay.
Slightly larger than just a cup, it works well as a Zhuren Bei, or a master’s cup, and with time, we suspect the glaze will crackle and craze with use.
Buy any three sippers and get 10% off, a quiet tribute to Chaozhou, where gongfu tea began.
