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 set comes with a gaiwan, a pitcher and strainer, all a pleasure to hold and a beautiful contrast to the color of tea, especially as they crackle over time. For cups, we’ve paired our favorite fine Longquan Porcelain aroma cup sets so that you can appreciate the aroma of your tea with every brew session, in a stunning contrasting yellow.
This extraordinarily-limited set is inspired by the Song Dynasty scholar’s garden pavilion studio: a contemplative space away from the bustle of the house to write poetry, practice calligraphy, and critically, drink tea. Each piece was chosen for their exquisite but unassuming nature - a set of tea ware that puts the tea first, but if you look at and handle each cup, the teapot or the board itself, their beauty shines through. The pot is a special kind of Ru - a tricky, difficult to pull off white glaze. This is not your classic porcelain. Ru has a softness and inner glow that comes through in the light. It feels completely different, but in a subtle and understated way. The cups are fully hand made pieces, thrown by hand and painted by hand to a staggering level of fine detail. The thinness of these pieces piece and what the artists were able to achieve is unreal. Jingdezhen porcelain is on another level. It is no wonder it is the material of choice for professional tasters since the firing temperature means a more perfect vitrification and better reflection of aromatics. Finally, the tea board itself is made with lovely yew wood and a striking aromatic resin. This board smells like a forest when it is hot or covered in tea, bringing a piece of the outdoors to your daily brew. All together, this is a set for truly enjoying every sip.
This sweet tea set is perfect for solo brewing or for gifting to anyone who loves tea. We’ve paired a beautiful little bamboo tea tray so tea can be enjoyed anywhere from the desk to in bed, along with Min Xin Tang’s high quality tempered glass teapot with built-in strainer to admire your leaves as they unfurl, and a stunning Ru glaze teacup from the master craftspeople at the Jie Feng studio in Dehua who fire their Ru pieces at over 1100 degrees celsius to bring back this Song dynasty tradition. All together, a perfect invitation to tea!
This beautiful tea set of Ru glaze teaware includes a handmade tea pot and sculptural tea cup. Each piece is created by Feng Zi Studio, a collaboration between master Lin Defeng and master Guo Zhihao. Both award-winning craftsmen have long exhibition histories who decided to get together and start a kiln in Taiwan to faithfully revive the Song Dynasty Ru ware culture. Ru was first treasured for its creamy rich blues that evoked the sky, and Feng Zi studio delivers with glazes that feel as deep as they are rich, as smooth as they are lustrous under the surface. These pieces were wood-fired at over 1100 degrees celsius to achieve their beautiful glaze. The results are a pleasure to hold and a beautiful contrast against the brewed tea to elevate gongfu ceremony. Pair with your favorite pitcher or pour directly from the small pot into your cup.

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.
