Emerging during the Northern Song dynasty as the foremost of China's Five Great Kilns, Ru ware embodies the zenith of monochrome glaze artistry in ceramic history. Celebrated for its legendary "sky-after-rain" celadon hue—inspired by Emperor Huizong's poetic decree—Ru ware is characterized by its fine, jadelike glaze, subtle crackling, and an aura of serene elegance that has captivated collectors for nearly a millennium. Each piece was originally fired for the imperial court, representing a perfect harmony of material, form, and firing technique that few kilns have ever matched.

Designed with the unique needs of Puerh tea in mind, this cup features a wide, gently flared mouth that allows hot tea to cool rapidly and evenly—preserving the tea’s layered aroma while preventing excessive bitterness from oversteeping. The generous bowl shape gives ample room for tea leaves to unfurl, releasing their full complexity with each infusion. Whether used for aged raw Puerh or ripe fermented varieties, the cup’s form actively enhances the tasting experience by balancing heat dissipation and aroma concentration.

Faithful to classic Ru ware techniques, this cup is fired using the threepoint nailsupport method, leaving delicate, sesameseedlike marks on the base—a signature of authentic Ru kiln craftsmanship. The glaze, formulated with ground agate, develops the soft, translucent celadon tone that appears to glow from within. Across its surface, a network of "cicadawing" crackles unfolds like fine veining in jade—a texture that will deepen gently over time as tea seeps into the microscopic fissures, gradually staining them with a memory of every brew.

Handmade from refined Rustyle clay and fired in a controlled reduction atmosphere, each cup carries the quiet dignity of Song dynasty aesthetics while serving the practical demands of modern tea ritual.
