Ru Porcelain Gaiwan (Tea Bowl) with Crab-Claw Crackle Patterns

This gaiwan features the iconic crab-claw crackle patterns, a signature characteristic of Ru ceramics, adding a unique texture and depth to its surface.  

The most remarkable aspect of this gaiwan is its sky-blue-green glaze, a rare and sophisticated hue that strikes a perfect balance between the classic sky-blue of Ru ceramics and the vivid green of celadon. This retro glaze is meticulously crafted to achieve a subtle, yet striking color that sets it apart from  celadon pieces.
