Ru ware is a famous and extremely rare type of Chinese pottery originally from the Song dynasty, produced for the imperial court for a brief period around 1100. This type of porcelain is smooth and elegant to touch. It has a sleek, bright, and simple design with a beautiful finish. This exquisite celadon's fine patina of hairline cracks is an especially prized characteristic that enhances its aesthetic appeal. Celadon ware has a soft grey-green-colored glaze achieved by applying an iron-rich liquefied clay to the ceramic before it is fired in a kiln. 

The cup looks delicate but is durable. With use over time, the appearance of the cracks in Ru-Kiln ware darkens to enhance the beautiful patterns. The cup with lid and tray is a traditional way of enjoying warm tea in China and pays respect to the tea and the tea drinker. It makes an especially fine gift. 

Since they are hand-crafted, each individual cup is unique in glaze, shape, and volume.
