Hare’s Fur
Characteristics: Delicate, silky streaks in russet brown or silvery-gray, resembling the fine fur of a hare. The lines flow like moonlight under shifting light.
Formation: Iron oxides in the glaze crystallize during high-temperature firing, creating directional streaks under alternating oxidation and reduction in the kiln.
Aesthetic Essence: Praised by Song scholars as "jade-like strands," these patterns mirror the poetic rhythm of tea pouring, harmonizing with the vibrant green of matcha.
