Crafted By Yi Xuan
These stunning iridescent tea cups are entirely hand-thrown by artist Yi Xua.
These pieces came out of her kiln with natural swirling iridescence, an artifact of the extreme heat of her multi-day firing process that gets so hot, she has to build her work from a special hand-blended porcelain mix instead of traditional clay which would otherwise break apart in the kiln.
These tea cups are not glazed - their color comes entirely from iron-oxide elements present in her porcelain reacting to the heat of the firing. This piece incredibly thin and light, a true pleasure to hold in the hand.
Note: six cups came out of the kiln in this year’s most recent firing, and each one has natural variation due to the swirling heat of the kiln.
