Longquan Celadon Celestial Blue Six-Phoenix Totem Master’s Cup

- **Longquan Celadon Relief Craftsmanship**: The carved design is a distinctive feature of Longquan celadon, differing from the vibrant colors of Jingdezhen porcelain. This craft requires a high level of skill, as the artist must control the carving depth and pressure carefully. The depth and gradient of the patterns create a sense of texture and three-dimensionality. When you hold the cup, you can feel the intricate and smooth design, providing a wonderfully tactile experience.

- **Celadon Glaze Color**: Longquan celadon primarily features shades of green, ranging from dark to light. Its thick glaze is one of its defining characteristics, resulting in a jade-like smoothness and clarity after being fired at 1300°C. This monochromatic glaze is challenging to perfect, as celadon aims for simplicity; even the smallest bubble or black spot is easily noticeable, much like a blemish on a white sheet of paper. As a result, the success rate of producing flawless celadon is relatively low.

- **Six-Phoenix Totem Design**: The cup is adorned with a pattern based on the ancient Chinese "Six Phoenix" totem. In Chinese culture, the phoenix symbolizes good fortune. The six phoenixes are arranged symmetrically, exuding a vintage and mysterious Oriental charm.
