Optimal Usage Guidelines
Pre-warm the teapot with hot water before brewing. Ideal for green and high mountain oolong teas at 70-85°C (158-185°F). Clean with plain hot water after use, avoiding soap. Allow to dry completely with lid removed. Handle with care to preserve the glaze's pristine finish.
Materials and Construction
Crafted from refined Ru porcelain clay known for its exceptional purity and density. The signature sky-blue glaze achieves its distinctive color through traditional firing techniques. The vessel features precise craftsmanship with balanced proportions and optimal pour characteristics.
Functional and Cultural Significance
Ru porcelain offers superior heat retention and distribution, ensuring consistent brewing temperatures. The non-porous surface prevents flavor absorption, maintaining tea purity. The material's thermal properties are especially suited for green and oolong teas. Historically, Ru ware represented the pinnacle of Song dynasty (960-1279 CE) ceramic achievement, with production strictly controlled for imperial use. Modern craftsmen preserve these techniques while making this prestigious tradition accessible to contemporary tea enthusiasts.
Historical Context
Ru ware emerged as the most esteemed of the Five Great Kilns of the Song dynasty. Its production was historically limited to the imperial court, with only select pieces reaching the wider market. The distinctive sky-blue glaze, described in period texts as resembling the color of the sky after rain, became the standard against which all other celadon glazes were judged.
