Description
- Material: Ceramic
- Ru Kiln Gaiwan: 13.0 cm x 13.5 cm, capacity: 150 ml.
- Among the five famous kilns of the Song Dynasty (Ru, Guan, Ge, Jun, and Ding), Ru ware ranks first due to its unique status. There is a saying: "Even with a fortune of ten thousand pieces of gold, it cannot compare to a single piece of Ru ware," which profoundly depicts the rarity of Ru ware porcelain.
- What makes Ru ware so captivating is its unique texture, "like jade but not jade." High-quality Ru ware pieces typically possess a smooth, even glaze with a soft sheen. Under light, they are not glaring but rather exude a subtle beauty. This visual appeal stems from years of accumulated firing experience and masterful technical control. Furthermore, the body is of moderate thickness, possessing a substantial weight in the hand without feeling bulky, giving a sense of solidity and reassurance.
- Ru ware Gaiwan are renowned for their unique cicada-wing crackle pattern. During firing and use, the glaze gradually develops cracks resembling cicada wings. With careful handling and maintenance by collectors, the crackle becomes increasingly delicate and dynamic, gradually revealing an artistic effect reminiscent of "golden threads and iron wires."
- This not only enhances the unique beauty of the porcelain but also imbues it with a sense of "life," as if the Ru ware Gaiwan is constantly growing and evolving. It showcases the essence of Ru ware craftsmanship, giving Ru ware porcelain a richer historical flavor and artistic value.
- The Ru ware Gaiwan creamy yellow glaze is warm and smooth like jade, with a delicate luster, as if the gentleness of time has been frozen. The magnolia and hibiscus pattern is subtly visible on the glaze, adding a touch of springtime freshness.
- The Ru Ware Gaiwan is hand-thrown, with smooth lines, and feels just the right weight to hold, making it perfect for one-handed operation. The most thoughtful feature is that the lid knob is designed to be relatively high, so your fingers won't touch the hot air when filling the bottle with water. The anti-scalding details are really well thought out. The Sancai Gaiwan (three-element gaiwan) embodies the concept of "heaven covering, earth supporting, and man nurturing," with heaven as the lid, earth as the support, and man as the bowl – a unified whole that adds a sense of ritual to tea brewing.
- The Ru Ware Gaiwan has a moderate capacity, combining elegance and practicality, making it suitable for personal drinking and social gatherings. The 150ml capacity is just right, whether you're enjoying a drink at home or entertaining guests in a tea room.
