An Ode to Song Dynasty Elegance – Iconic 3-Piece Sky-Blue Ru Ware Teaset (1 Teapot & 2 Teacups).

Inspired by the pinnacle of Chinese imperial ceramics, this 3-Piece Ru Ware Sky-Blue Teaset brings timeless harmony to intimate tea moments. Perfectly paired for two, the set includes one rounded, ergonomic Xi Shi Teapot and two matching tasting cups, each coated in a lustrous celestial blue glaze with translucent ice-crackle veins (Cicada-Wing Crackle).   

Why It’s a Timeless Addition to Your Gongfu Tea Table:Complete 3-Piece Set for Two: Includes 1 Xi Shi teapot and 2 matching porcelain teacups—ideally sized for quiet solo sessions or dual Gongfu tea rituals.   Song-Inspired Sky-Blue Glaze (Tian Qing): Famous for its soft, jade-like matte luster that shifts subtly under light, creating a serene tea atmosphere.   

Classic Xi Shi Teapot Profile: Renowned for its comfortable, rounded body, high-set spout, and effortless water flow—ideal for Green Tea, Oolong, Jasmine, and White Tea.   

Authentic Nail-Support Firing (Zhi Ding): Fired using traditional ceramic supports, allowing the glaze to envelope the teapot and both cups almost entirely, leaving only tiny, sesame-like support marks on the bottom.   

Living Crackle Patina (Kai Pian): Daily steeping lets the micro-crackle glaze subtly absorb tea tannins over time, darkening into an exquisite, personalized antique pattern.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is included in this Ru Ware Xi Shi Teaset?

A: This complete 3-piece Gongfu tea set includes 1 Ru Ware Xi Shi Teapot and 2 matching Ru Ware teacups, specifically crafted for dual tea tasting or individual enjoyment.   

Q: What is the Nail-Support technique (Zhi Ding) in Ru Ware ceramics?

A: Nail-support firing is an ancient Song Dynasty method where vessels are suspended in the kiln on small ceramic pins (支钉). This allows the entire bottom of both the teapot and teacups to be coated in glaze, leaving only tiny, sesame-sized marks on the foot ring rather than an unglazed base.
