Why does the impression cup show pictures when it meets water?

This is related to the material. The impression cup wall is made of two materials. One material has a pattern on it, and heating will make the pattern brighter, while heating another material will make the color lighter.

There was a kind of porcelain in ancient times, and the principle was the same.

Because I don't have much knowledge, I can't name the material. That's all I know. I hope it helps.
