The piece is glazed and fired once; as the kiln cools, the glaze contracts faster than the body beneath and crazes into a fine network. Where the lines run, the glaze thins and the darker body reads through as rust-brown veins. Cooling differs across a kiln, so no two pieces carry the same pattern — each cup is individual by process rather than by design.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe form\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe cup widens from a small foot to the six-petal rim, so the opening reads as a flower rather than a circle.

Avoid sudden temperature change — do not pour boiling water into a cold cup, and do not move it straight from a cold shelf to a hot rinse. Tea can deepen the tone of the veins over years if it settles into them; wash and dry after use to slow that down. Dishwasher and microwave suitability depends on the maker’s glaze specification for your batch — ask us before ordering if this matters to you.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"YIQI","offers":[{"title":"FLOWER RIM","offer_id":50814594318401,"sku":"KLCLC1","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"ROUND RIM","offer_id":50814594351169,"sku":"KLCLC2","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"SAUCER","offer_id":50814594383937,"sku":"KLCLC3","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0863\/8500\/0513\/files\/1_abf5bd2b-1678-497e-8643-55891025f192.jpg?v=1793005123","url":"https:\/\/art80b-h3.myshopify.com\/es\/products\/spring-ripple-kiln-transmuted-teacup-saucer-set","provider":"YIQI","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
