Nanshan Five Colour Glaze Ceramic Teacup
Nanshan Five Colour Glaze Ceramic Teacup
Unique handmade cup by Chinese ceramic artist Master Yang Yingcai. Glazed with his signature five-color glaze, the piece presents a subtle interplay of turquoise, amber, celadon, blue, and iron-rich black that transitions and pools across the surface.
This hand-thrown shallow cup, with its smooth, regular surface, allows the five-color glaze to flow naturally, creating subtle gradients and organic transitions. The even walls and gently sloping profile highlight the interplay of hues: soft celadon, warm amber, deep cobalt, muted olive, and a translucent ivory. Where colors meet, delicate veining and pooled highlights form, giving each cup a unique, painterly finish while maintaining a calm, harmonious palette.
Dimensions (approx.): 7 cm diameter × 2.7 cm height. Fired at high temperature for a dense, vitrified body; slight variations in glaze thickness, subtle crawling, and fine crystalline effects are natural and intentional; each imperfection contributes to the cup’s individuality. Suitable for tea or as a small objet d’art.
Capacity: 25ml
