Maple Lacquer Art Ru Yao Cup
Maple Lacquer Art Ru Yao Cup
Crafted By Feng Zi Studo
Lacquer arts in China date back over three thousand years to the Shang Dynasty. This spectacular piece draws on ancient tradition, combining lacquer with classic Ru Kiln ceramics.
While the oldest lacquer wares are made from turned and carved wood, dipped in countless layers of resin, the problem in bringing this ancient craft into tea culture is lacquer’s dislike of boiling water. Feng Zi Studio takes up the challenge, by making the cup material their stunning Ru, leaving the inside lacquer-free so that the cup can withstand generations of use.
The lacquer layer is built up over many applications, creating a soft smooth feeling, and a beautiful contrasting color to the blue Ru glaze. The brilliant maple leaf imprints against deep swirling greens is a nod to the Song Dynasty Jizhou leaf imprint ceramics tradition.
The cup shape is perfect for keeping your tea warm, with a flared rim for easy sipping.
