Dark Silver Hare's Fur Glaze Official's Hat (Guanmao) Shape Cup

This beautiful tea cup is made by Mei-Ying, Ni.

Hare's Fur Pattern:

• The glaze exhibits a distinctive hare's fur pattern, characterized by elongated, vertical streaks that resemble the fur of a hare. These streaks are typically created during the high-temperature firing process, where the iron-rich glaze melts and forms natural, flowing lines.

Color and Texture:

• The predominant color of the glaze is a silvery, metallic hue, which contrasts beautifully against the darker, almost black background. The inner surface of the cup features an intricate display of these silvery streaks, radiating outwards from the center in a mesmerizing pattern.

Lustrous Finish:

• The surface of the cup has a smooth and glossy finish, reflecting light and enhancing the visual depth of the glaze. This mirror-like shine is a hallmark of high-quality JianZhan ware, achieved through precise control of the firing temperature, which reaches around 1300°C.

Reflective Quality:

• The glaze’s reflective quality allows it to capture and play with light, creating a dynamic visual effect that changes with the viewing angle. This effect accentuates the intricate hare’s fur pattern and adds to the overall allure of the cup.
