In the field of art collection, antique porcelain auctions have always been relatively popular. For example, the Chicken Cup, which was once auctioned for the astronomical price of 280 million Hong Kong dollars, is a topic of continuous discussion.
Among these porcelain pieces, the Glaze-altered Temmoku Tea Bowl should be considered an exception. It is a category whose value cannot be directly measured by money.
In fact, the successful firing of the Glaze-altered Temmoku Tea Bowl involves great serendipity. The bright spots on its bowl wall were formed in one high-temperature firing beneath the glaze. Under certain temperature conditions, they can shine with an alluring seven-colored halo. To make the bowl's surface present a gorgeous effect, akin to a rainbow on the horizon, with interwoven yellows, blues, greens, and purples, a very thin crystalline film must be formed on the glaze during firing.
