Wood-Fired Underglaze Red and Blue Lotus Master Teacup
The Rarity of Wood-Fired Master Craftsmanship
Inspired by the imperial aesthetics of the Qing Dynasty's Yongzheng era, this master teacup is forged in a traditional wood-fired kiln (Chai Yao). Crafted from premium raw kaolin clay and subjected to extreme temperatures of 1380°C, the porcelain achieves a jade-like warmth and profound vitrification. The unique "Incense Burner" silhouette (Lu Shi Bei) features a tall, smoothly polished foot base, ensuring a commanding presence on any tea stage while protecting your tabletop.
Three-Dimensional Underglaze Polychrome
This piece showcases a highly difficult integration of underglaze blue and underglaze red pigments. The exterior is meticulously hand-painted with the "Interlaced Lotus" (longevity vine) motif, symbolizing continuous prosperity. Artisans utilize an advanced dotted brushwork technique to give the vines and petals a striking three-dimensional depth. The artistic continuity flows into the cup's interior, where a finely detailed lotus welcomes the tea liquor, creating a dynamic visual experience with every sip.
