The creamy blue of the distinctive Ru glaze was first pioneered in the Song Dynasty to evoke the sky. Now, the master craftspeople at the Jie Feng studio in Dehua fire these Ru pieces at over 1100 degrees celsius to bring back this song dynasty tradition. This tea set includes one gaiwan, one pitcher, one strainer, and two matching ru yao tea cups.
The pitcher is the serving vessel from which you pour your fine teas, and this pitcher is built to show off any tea with elegance and poise. Xiangfu’s newest line of professional tea tasting wares features delicately frosted tempered glass adorned with an evocative splash of gold. As you pour tea from the pitcher, light catches through the glass, illuminating the liquor and playing off the luster of the foil accents for a beautiful effect.
