Love in 2009/愛在2009

Monday, January 12th, 2009

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.
