Know before you buy
The crackle glaze, or 'crazing,' is a hallmark of traditional Ru ware. These fine lines occur naturally during the cooling process after firing, meaning every individual piece features a unique pattern that will continue to evolve slightly as the ceramic absorbs tea oils over time.
The panda design is meticulously hand-painted by artisans. Because each piece is painted by hand, there will be subtle variations in the brushwork, ensuring that your specific teacup is one-of-a-kind.
To preserve the integrity of the crackle glaze, we recommend hand-washing the cup with warm water and avoiding harsh detergents. Because the glaze is porous, it is best to rinse it thoroughly after each use to prevent staining from tea tannins.
While the teacup is a beautiful collector's item, it is fully functional and designed for daily tea rituals. The ceramic material is durable enough for regular use, though it requires gentle handling due to its delicate, traditional craftsmanship.
Yes, the porous nature of Ru ware glaze is designed to absorb the essence of the teas you brew. Over time, this 'seasoning' process can enhance the flavor profile of your tea, making the cup a more personalized vessel the more you use it.
