Retreat Handpainted Teacup #001

The wood-fired teacup is hand painted by the artist Cao in Jingdezhen whose works are admired by a wide range of vivid landscape paintings. He has committed himself to hand painting for two decades and is qualified as a national-level class A artificer.

The teacup features a well-handpainted scene depicting a waterfall is running into a valley in steep mountains. To the great extent, its wide painting area enhances a majestic feeling to the cup overall. Made of white ceramic, the teacup is mottled with black throughout which results from the interaction with the flame and ash in a complicated firing process, giving an impression of Chinese ink wash painting. The teacup actually is not only a piece of craft , but acts more like a timeline that manifests how much time the artist spent working on it with the expert painting skill .
The teacup holds approximately 110ml of liquid , making it ideal for an intimate tea session exclusive of a fair cup if you just want to simplify the session when you are more focusing on other things . As the rim is pinched out slightly , the teacup offers pleasure to hold and prevent the fingers from the heat.
