Longdan Cup 'Zhong Kui: Boundless Joy', Ru Kiln Technique, 130 ml

The Longdan (Dragon Egg) shaped tea bowl is a true work of craftsmanship, forged through the fire of legendary kilns.

The painted scene is dedicated to Zhong Kui — the legendary vanquisher of demons, a righteous guardian and protector against evil spirits. In this design he appears as a bringer of prosperity: dressed in red, holding a stack of banknotes and a bag of money.

Features of the bowl

• Kiln artistry: the result of high-temperature reduction firing in the legendary Ru kilns.
• Agate glaze: the glaze recipe includes crushed natural agate, giving the surface of the bowl a pleasant tactile feel close to jade.
• A rare piece: due to the complexity of the firing process, only a small percentage of pieces leave the kiln without defects, making each such bowl a valuable find.
• Dragon Egg ergonomics: the rounded shape with a narrow neck holds heat well and concentrates the tea's aroma, letting it unfold fully.
• Living texture: thanks to the unique cooling process, the enamel gradually develops a network of crackles ('cicada wings') that absorb tea over time, forming a unique pattern that records the history of your tea sessions.
