Identifying technique

[gregotea]

Hello everyone,

i m pretty new to teaware and ceramic
I discover this cup in a chinese teashop in Brussels/belgium/europe.
the salesman told me it was made by chinese pottery student who will later go to japan and sell their production more expensive.

I m fascinated by this thick dripping technique, i would like to know the name/keyword of it to find more of those styles.

and if anyone can translate the signature underneath.

looking forward to your reply :=)

Technically speaking, we call them "drippies."

Sorry, I never heard a true term for this technique. However, if you search the forum for either drippy or drippies, you will see other examples.

Lovely multicolored dripsicles! But that's a term I came up with myself, so not in any way official or helpful when it comes to trying to find more like it. There doesn't seem to be any substitute for just looking, looking and looking some more.

The closest 'official' term I'm aware of is 'bildoro', and I've seen that applied to a piece of teaware fired on the side so that a clear drop is formed 'facing' you as you use the cup. These vertical drips are quite different.

Just for typo's sake, that's "bidoro" (or "beautiful pool"), and as far as I know, even that term is not a very common one (and may only refer to drops that have a crystalline/glass appearance).

Whoops, my bad. That's "bīdoro" (or biidoro). My "beautiful pool" guess is probably not exactly right. The origin of the term does appear to be more glass-related than pottery (but still not a very common term).

I don't know a technical term for the drippies, but I just started taking some pottery wheel classes (I'm still a total newb, only having used one maybe 4 times so far) and the instructor said he likes using certain glazes designed for low fire, but firing them hotter. He said they start to run more. I assume that it works better with some glazes than others.
