A Tribute to the "Five Great Kilns" (五大名窑 - Wǔ Dà Míng Yáo)

This tea cup set pays homage to the legendary "Five Great Kilns" (五大名窑) of the Song Dynasty (960-1279 AD): Ru, Guan, Ge, Ding, and Jun. These kilns are renowned for producing some of the most refined and influential ceramics in Chinese history, characterized by their distinct glazes, forms, and firing techniques. While these cups may not be genuine antiques from those dynasties, their design, craftsmanship, and aesthetic draw deep inspiration from these esteemed traditions, offering a modern interpretation of a timeless legacy. Each cup is handcrafted by skilled artisans, ensuring that subtle variations and unique details imbue each piece with individual character.

Exquisite Craftsmanship and Elegant Form

Each of the five tea cups features a classic rounded shape, designed for comfortable handling and optimal appreciation of your tea's aroma and color. The ceramic is meticulously crafted, often showcasing rich, subtle glazes that reflect the characteristics associated with the "Five Great Kilns." Expect to see:

• Subtle Crackle Glazes: Evoking the delicate "ice crackle" patterns of Ge ware.

• Monochromatic Glazes: Reminiscent of the serene blue-greens of Ru and Guan ware or the lustrous white of Ding ware.

• Vibrant, Transmuting Glazes: Nodding to the dramatic, purplish-red hues of Jun ware.

The smooth finish and balanced weight of each cup elevate the tactile pleasure of your tea ritual.
