Collection: Meteorite Crater Yohen Series by Yunzhanxuan
Officially patented, each piece is uniquely formed using natural reddish-brown iron-rich clay and iron-based crystalline glaze minerals sourced exclusively from town of Shuiji. Fired at over 1300°C in a reduction flame using traditional Jian kiln methods, this masterpiece embodies the harmony of earth and fire.
Through carefully controlled oxygen intake, stunning natural patterns emerge—reminiscent of meteorite craters and cosmic auroras. The deep black glaze transitions gently to a jade-like rim, with lush glaze texture and dramatic dripping effects. What makes each cup truly one-of-a-kind are the vibrant and unpredictable colors formed by mineral traces and firewood elements reacting under intense heat. Its position in the kiln further shapes its unique visual story—making no two pieces alike.
When light touches its surface, star-like crystals shimmer against a profound dark background. The elegant patterns boast radiant hues, large size, striking three-dimensionality, and a textured tactile surface with distinct layers. Its egg-shaped form showcases breathtaking kiln-generated films in blue, green, purple, and gold—each with a sublime vitrified finish and metallic glow.
Pure as water, smooth as jade—this teacup doesn’t just captivate visually; it transforms with the ambient light, offering a subtly shifting palette that feels both ancient and alive. The high-iron clay, enriched with nickel and silicon, offers mild magnetic properties that enhance tea sweetness and smoothness, while the porous structure allows the clay to breathe, improving with each use.
Ideal for collectors and tea enthusiasts, the Valkyrie's Celestial Shards isn’t just functional—it’s an experience. Elevate your tea ritual with a cup that carries the soul of a thousand flames.
