This Ru Yao Kiln tea set reflects the beauty of traditional Chinese ceramics, known for its serene, jade-like finish. The glaze on these pieces is thick and glossy, exuding a sense of weight and richness. It has a smooth, lustrous surface that resembles the texture of polished jade, providing a timeless elegance.
Before developing its distinctive crackle pattern, the surface of Ru Yao ceramics appears in a delicate ice-crackle style. After extended use and being nourished by tea, the fine crackles evolve into irregular golden lines, known as “Chan Si” (禅丝), giving the ceramics an added layer of beauty and appreciation over time.
