The piece
Wide-rim cup, snow landscape stretches on the wall, tea into the cup like snow falling into a mountain stream.
Reading the snow
A wide 8 cm rim, like a window opened for the snow scene: ink-wash landscape lays out within the open rim, a view farther than ordinary cups, distant mountains finally with distance.
The wide-rim cup’s painting must withstand a top-down view—the instant the tea person lowers head to pour is the inspection. Composition pushes back layer by layer in the ‘level-distance’ method; snow is blank space, also a path.
One-of-a-kind, unique. Wide-rim forms are rare among cups; hand-painted snow-scene wide-rim cups rarer—form rarity stacked on painting completeness, the weight of collecting naturally differs.
H5.5 cm, wide mouth lifts the aroma, especially right for oolong and white tea. Tea reflects snow; lower your head and it is rivers and mountains.
From the studio
Wide rim takes light, snow stretches. Tea into the cup, like snow falling into a mountain stream.
