GRANDLY PRESENTING,
L3A Consummate Master Artist Li Yan Ru 李艳如's

《耀日》"Yao Ri", 460ml, Gao Wen Zi Ni 高温紫泥。
TRIUMPHANT ACCREDITATION PIECE at the Yr2022 Master Artist Accreditation Exam!
STELLAR!

This is a massive piece, both in size and in significance in ZiSha Art Appreciation.

Very personal, dear to an Artist's professional career: this is Master Li Yan Ru's original creation as well, and her debut piece, with a highly valuable Zi Ni material.
What happens during an Accreditation Exam:
The examination process can be tedious.  Main points and synopsis:
Each of the candidates (with their names masked) presents and suggests three types of pots (one of his/her own original new design, two classic), through the invigilator/proctors, to the Examination Panel of Judges.  The Panel of Judges will chose from the list, one of three designs, for each different candidate.  The invigilator will then inform the candidates, real time, and the clock starts ticking.
Each will be given two days to craft (if the chosen design is an Austere work).  The Panel of Judges are kept away from the actual exam hall, until later. 
~~~
~~~
After crafting for two days (if the panel chosen an Austere class design for the candidate), the pieces will be left on the table.  Before they leave the exam hall, each candidate will stamp on the base, a stamp bearing a Chinese character given by the invigilators/proctors.  Another paired stamp will be stamped on the underside of the lid.  The candidates will leave the exam hall.

The judges will later come in, to judge the pieces.

After the arduous judging, the candidates will come in at a much later time, to retrieve the pieces.

These pieces are taken back by the candidates!

Li Yan Ru’s piece, in the 2022 examination, was given the pass!  And to commemorate this Winning Piece, she swiftly have the bottom engraved the memorable characters:
"二零二二年" - Year 2022
"工艺师考试" - Master Artist Accreditation Examination
"李艳如" - Li Yan Ru
"现场制作" - On Site Crafting.

After the engraving is done, she fired it three times, at Gao Wen 高温 that means High Temperatures reaching 1300degC.  This type of Zi Ni she had chosen is able to tolerate, and encourages this type of extreme high temperatures: HIGHER than the usual 1100 to 1250degC for other types of ZiSha.

This is a Stellar, Precious Piece!
~ The words "Rare" and "Limited" do not apply here.
~ And once you have it, you have what many do not have:
A Precious Milestone, Examination Piece very dear to the Artist’s Life!

For, if an Artist makes it through five levels, L5 to L1, then, there will only be five such pieces in his or her professional Artistic career.

As if this is not enough, this is ALSO a debut new design, original new design, by Master Li Yan Ru herself!  She has proudly named it 《耀日》Yao Ri。 And this is the first time she has crafted it!  This is the debut piece as well!

This Work is Majestic, at 460ml, and is fired at 1300°C ~ higher than usual firing temperatures of 1100-1250°C.
Master Li Yan Ru and our fraternity Artists term it 高温紫泥 Zi Ni that is able to withstand High Temperatures firing.  Despite the humongous higher risk of bubbling and deformation, Master Li is very confident and chooses to go this way, to achieve this exquisite colouration and texture.

《耀日》Yao Ri, is an amazing, Pompous Piece, and although we admire Legendary Shao Da Heng of the Qing Dynasty, for coming up with what is the most lasting, pompous and grandiloquent ZiSha design of all time, the Duo Zhi; Master Li Yan Ru'《耀日》Yao Ri, can be viewed to rival it, while giving this magisterial Yao Ri design, a very eloquent and masterful take.
Magnificent skills, aesthetics and craftsmanship by Master Li Yan Ru!!!!
