This wood-fired teacup from Jingdezhen, China is masterful result of the combined efforts of human and nature. 
 
Wood firing pottery is finished with melted wood ash on its surface, meaning no artificial glazes are needed in the process. It also results in a beautiful pattern and colour combination on the surface, giving a unique texture and finish to each individual piece that comes out of the kiln. 
 
This teacup stands out in particular for its subtle yet eye-catching appearance - make this piece the focal point of your tea table.
 
As you may be able to spot in the photo, this teacup also features the unique patterns caused by deliberate cracking. These crackles will absorb tannins in the tea and gradually take on new colours. Over time you will see the slow change as you use it to brew your tea.
