Yulan Cup 'Extraordinary Charm', Ru Kiln Glaze, 80 ml

This tea bowl embodies elegance and nobility. The Yulan shape, literally meaning 'Magnolia Cup,' resembles a half-open flower bud, a symbol of purity and spring in China.

The shape combines a refined signature design called 'Extraordinary Charm' with the legendary Ru kiln firing technique.

Features of the bowl

• Shape and aesthetics: a narrow base gently widens upward, with edges slightly flared outward, making the bowl comfortable to hold.
• Aroma release: the Yulan shape is considered an 'aromatic' cup — its tall body concentrates the tea's scent inside, letting you catch subtler notes.
• Glaze craftsmanship: refined handwork using kaolin from a primary ore source and agate within the glaze composition.
• Unique texture: due to the complexity of the firing process, only a small percentage of pieces come out of the kiln without defects.
• Enamel character: the matte Ru texture gradually develops a fine network of crackles ('cicada wings') that darken with tea use, forming your own unique pattern over time.
