Jizhou Kiln Wood Leaf Tenmoku Tea Cup | Handmade Leaf Impression Teaware | 50ml Gongfu Tea Cup
🌸Experience the timeless beauty of Song Dynasty teaware through this Jizhou Kiln Wood Leaf Tenmoku Tea Cup, handcrafted in Jiangxi, China. The signature feature of this cup is its real leaf impression—mulberry leaves are specially treated, placed onto the black-glazed body, covered with transparent glaze, and fired at approximately 1300°C. During firing, the leaf burns away, but its veins and silhouette fuse permanently with the glaze, creating a natural, poetic pattern.
✨Every tea cup is completely unique in leaf placement and shape due to hand application and natural kiln variation, making each a collectible piece of art.
🌿The design reflects the philosophy of Zen, nature, and impermanence, commonly expressed as “a single leaf heralds autumn.” The dark tenmoku glaze paired with the delicate leaf veins creates a calm, meditative aesthetic.
With its 50ml capacity, this bowl-style tea cup is perfect for gongfu brewing, tea tasting, and appreciating the harmony between tea and craftsmanship.
