Timeless design 40ml (to rim) Ru Yao cup with craquelure glaze which will naturally stain as it is used to show off its age.
Shape - Lovely flat silhouette with outwrd curve rim for smooth drinking.
Ru Yao - The porcelain is Ru Yao which originated from Henan province in the Song Dynasty (about 1000 years ago). The technique uses iron to create a glaze with a glimmering lustre which will continue to shine. The firing process creates fine cracks in the glaze which will season with tea over repeated use and reveal a golden brown craquelure.
Colour - The blue green celadon colour is the perfect companion to Yixing clay and glass which makes it a universal tea cup. This Ru Yao is slightly more on the blue tint compared with many other Ru Yao pieces and the look is glossier too.
Please be advised that these cups are all handmade and will have charming little bumps and colour differences.
