Specification: Length 6.5CM, Height 8CM, Capacity 125ML.This handcrafted ceramic cup captivates with its rustic allure and vividly textured design. The vessel’s main body showcases a rich, earthy brown glaze, evoking a weathered antique charm while its smooth, polished finish contrasts sharply with the rough, weathered wooden surface it rests upon. The centerpiece is a striking relief of a mythical creature’s face—likely a monkey—carved with remarkable detail: highly textured fur patterns cascade across the cheekbones, while piercing, almond-shaped eyes and a slightly open mouth convey lifelike dynamism. Above the brow, two stylized horns or ears curve upward, amplifying the design’s whimsical, otherworldly quality. The composition balances rawness and refinement—the cup’s organic curves and tactile grooves counterbalance the geometric symmetry of the relief. A deep gray backdrop isolates the piece, directing focus to its chromatic harmony: warm ochre accents on the creature’s muzzle and horns melt into the muted brown base, while the wooden tray’s ashen grain adds earthy contrast. Rooted in artisanal traditions, this piece merges sculptural storytelling with functional elegance. The fantastical imagery—a fusion of mythic symbolism and natural observation—invites contemplation, while the tactile interplay of matte glaze and polished wood highlights the alchemy of fired clay. A testament to cultural hybridity, it transcends utility to become a meditative object celebrating the interplay of shadow and light, texture and imagination.
