Sweet Object

最近實在太冷了，我卻仍然忙得馬不停蹄。
馬上要離開上海、去福建幾天、然後囘臺灣過年；
這套2009年度的情人節對杯，現在先推出。

我每年會做出一套情人對杯，每組的數量則要看燒窯的成功率來決定。

今年這套，是豹紋組合，靈感來自于一次在07年春末和女友S的對話。

這組杯子的外頭和盤子，使用的是黑色無光’熔岩‘肌理釉葯，對溫度要求相對敏感，杯上的肌理不明顯，盤子的邊緣處比較充分表現。

杯子的裏面分別是金橘/黑，和金棕/白的組合雙層豹紋釉；
施釉需分多次多道手續，對坯體和釉水結合度的要求高。
釉葯内含多種貴金屬，成效令人滿意。

和從前一樣,分別有小杯（125ml）帶托盤的四件套，另有大杯（300ml）的兩件套。
兩件套因杯身較高，杯底的氣氛不足，裏釉不易表現，成套數相對少。

製作的過程和故事本應娓娓而道，但S已經特別交代故事對話不可聲張，而我也忙得腦袋打結，所以不多說。

請各位看圖識物，並預祝大家有個美好的情人節。

***********************************
I make couple(pair) cup set each year to celebrate Valentine’s Day with you. This year its the ‘Leopard Love’.

Its a perfect gift to express your love with passion, or, to reheat it!!

This couple cup set is included 2 cups and 2 saucers <4 pcs in total.>
approx. 125ml each cup

They are wheel thrown and fired with special color glazes. I have done more than 30 time-trials to get this glaze recipe and I am pretty happy with the result.

outside and on the plate : mat black glaze with ‘lava’ style texture. Especially on the rim of the plate, the irregular lava texture has shown more.

inside of the cups: ‘Leopard pattern’ (orange/black tone)(golden white/brown tone) The glaze has included some noble metals, and I think its worthy.

* Lead free.
* Microwave & wash-machine safe.
* Please don’t use on the oven top.
