Rose-Gold Flower Oil-droplet Official's Hat Shape Cup

A masterpiece crafted by the skilled hands of Guo-Ping, Ji.

Flower Carving Pattern (花雕):

• The glaze features a "flower carving" pattern, characterized by a series of petal-like formations that resemble blooming flowers. These patterns are created through the natural flow and interaction of the glaze components during the high-temperature firing process.

Color and Texture:

• The predominant colors include shades of pink, purple, and blue, blending seamlessly to create a visually captivating effect. The glaze also includes areas of iridescent sheen, where the colors shift and change with the light, adding a dynamic quality to the cup.
• The glaze exhibits a crackled texture in certain areas, enhancing the visual complexity and depth of the pattern. This crackling is often a result of the cooling process, where the glaze contracts and forms tiny fissures.

Lustrous Finish:

• The surface of the cup is smooth and glossy, reflecting light and accentuating the vibrant colors and intricate patterns. The high gloss finish is a hallmark of high-quality JianZhan ware, achieved through precise control of the firing temperature, which reaches around 1300°C.

Reflective Quality:

• The iridescent quality of the glaze allows it to capture and reflect light, creating a shimmering effect that enhances the overall beauty of the cup. This effect is especially pronounced in the areas where the colors are most vibrant.
