Handcrafted in the tradition of Ruyao ware — one of the Five Great Kilns of the Song Dynasty — this Chinese tea cup carries centuries of ceramic heritage in every curve. The pale, matte glaze with its signature crackle finish is immediately recognizable to tea lovers, and the relief-carved lotus rising from the body adds a layer of quiet beauty that rewards a closer look.
Each cup is thrown and finished by hand, which means no two are exactly alike. The crackle glaze develops naturally during firing as the glaze and clay cool at different rates — a happy accident that Chinese ceramicists have been perfecting for over a thousand years.
At 120ml, this is a generous everyday tea cup — comfortable for personal brewing sessions while still refined enough for ceremony.
