{"product_id":"crystalline-glaze-tea-cup-vjv43hpg","title":"Frost Bloom Multicolor Ceramic Tea Cup","description":"\u003ch5\u003eDescription\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cp\u003eA ceramic tea cup that functions equally as a sculptural object. The round tapered bowl form is glazed entirely in crystalline glaze — a firing technique in which zinc silicate crystals grow directly within the glaze layer during cooling, producing a surface that reads as frozen mineral rather than painted decoration. Viewed under raking light, the crystal formations bloom outward from nucleation points in interlocking petal-like clusters, shifting between matte frost and glassy specular depending on angle. Available in six color fields — amber yellow, light blue, dark blue, mint green, pink, and teal — each with its own distinct crystalline density and tonal depth. The white unglazed foot ring contrasts cleanly against the richly surfaced exterior, marking the boundary between raw ceramic body and glaze field. No two cups carry an identical crystal pattern; the formations that develop during each firing are unrepeatable.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch5\u003eInspiration\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach cup hides a garden of crystalline glaze inside its bowl.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe round, tapered ceramic form is simple on purpose, giving the mineral-like blooms room to spread in yellow, mint, teal, and layered blues. It feels less like printed pattern and more like frost deciding to become floral.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePour tea into one and the glossy interior catches the light between sips; leave a few together on the table and they look like a small weather report in porcelain color.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch5\u003eHighlights\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCrystalline glaze surface: zinc silicate crystals grow within the glaze layer during the firing process, producing petal-cluster formations visible to the naked eye — a material phenomenon rather than a printed or applied decoration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSix color variants — amber yellow, light blue, dark blue, mint green, pink, teal — each presenting a distinct crystal density, tonal range, and specular quality under light\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRound tapered bowl form with a clean white unglazed foot ring; the contrast between the bare ceramic base and the fully glazed surface makes the glaze boundary legible as a deliberate formal choice\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe crystalline interior and exterior patterns differ: the interior shows a more open, fluid arrangement of crystals while the exterior presents denser, more tightly packed formations — two distinct visual experiences within a single object\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEach piece carries an unrepeatable surface — the crystal growth pattern is determined by kiln temperature curves during cooling and cannot be identically reproduced\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch5\u003eNotices\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cp\u003eCrystal patterns vary between individual cups as a natural result of the glaze firing process; the piece shown is representative of color and crystal character but your cup will carry its own unique formation. Color appearance may shift under different light sources — amber yellow reads deeper in warm incandescent light, cooler and more citrine under daylight. The foot ring is intentionally left unglazed white ceramic.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"TRLAB SHOP","offers":[{"title":"Light Blue","offer_id":67561620373779,"sku":"WB-DRK-CGT04","price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Dark Blue","offer_id":67561620406547,"sku":"WB-DRK-CGT05","price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Green","offer_id":67561620439315,"sku":"WB-DRK-CGT06","price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Yellow","offer_id":67561620472083,"sku":"WB-DRK-CGT07","price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0870\/0028\/5459\/files\/sku_crystalline-glaze-tea-cup-vjv43hpg_01_d5c3d934-c8bb-400e-b524-31f4bb9fc0b4.webp?v=1790524658","url":"https:\/\/trlab.com\/en-ca\/products\/crystalline-glaze-tea-cup-vjv43hpg","provider":"TRLab Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
