Legacy Bearer — Nebula Cup

This tea cup, known as the “Nebula Cup,” was handcrafted by Liu Ziwen, a student from Jingdezhen Ceramic University. The bottom of the cup is engraved with his name, showcasing the artist’s pride and connection to his work. This piece is not only a functional tea vessel but also a work of art, symbolizing the preservation of traditional Chinese tea-making craftsmanship and the vast beauty of the starry sky.

The Story of the Cup:

The inspiration for this tea cup comes from the profound mystery of the starry sky. On a moonlit night, Liu Ziwen gazed at the clear night sky, pondering how to capture its enchanting beauty through ceramic art. Using traditional techniques from Jingdezhen and a special glazing method, he created this cup that mirrors the depth of the night sky. The interior of the cup sparkles like starlight, reflecting the boundless universe, and when tea fills the cup, it feels as though the Milky Way is flowing within your hands.

Symbolism:

The Nebula Cup symbolizes the protection and inheritance of traditional Chinese craftsmanship, akin to countless stars in the sky, each representing a precious memory and cultural heritage. The dark glaze of the exterior embodies the weight of history, while the shimmering specks inside signify hope and the future. Every use feels like a dialogue with the cosmos, a moment to appreciate the harmony of traditional culture and modern artistry.
