The piece
Tall slim cup, snow climbs from base to rim, lone and upright with rhythm.
Reading the snow
H7.1 ⌀5.8 cm, slender like an undipped brush: ink-wash snow scene grows vertically from base to rim, mountain paths winding, like the whole journey a snow-day traveller sees looking up.
The tall cup demands the brush path ‘stand firm’: vertical composition one layer off shows crooked. This cup’s mountain momentum rises with the vessel, snow stopping at the rim—restraint in the final stroke.
One-of-a-kind, unique. The tall cup has a literati air of its own: the ancients called a slender ‘aroma-sniffing cup’ ‘tingting’ (graceful). On the table, it is first a quiet sculpture, then a vessel.
Narrow mouth gathers aroma, tall body nurtures rhyme—turn it in the palm and the snow scene slowly changes curtains with light and shadow; one cup can spend half a brew’s leisure.
From the studio
Tall cup lone and upright, snow climbs from base to rim. Within one hold, see the mountain’s bones.
