Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is a Ru Kiln teacup and why is it special?
A: Ru Kiln (Ruyao) ceramic is one of the "Five Great Kilns" of the Song Dynasty in China, prized for its distinctive sky-blue crackle glaze and subtle, refined beauty. The CHYIR Antique Ru Kiln Teacup draws on this centuries-old tradition, delivering the look and feel of a collector's piece at an accessible price.
Q: What does "reverse-mouth" or "master cup" mean?
A: A "reverse-mouth" or flared-rim design means the lip of the cup gently curves outward rather than straight up or inward. This classic master cup shape is favored in gongfu tea ceremonies for the way it directs the flow of tea and fits naturally in the palm.
Q: Is this teacup safe for hot beverages?
A: Yes. The cup is made from high-quality ceramic with an under-glaze firing technique and holds FCM certification, confirming it is safe for food and beverage contact. It is designed to withstand the heat of freshly brewed tea.
Q: How should I care for this ceramic teacup?
A: Hand washing with mild soap and warm water is recommended to preserve the glaze and finish. Avoid sudden extreme temperature changes (e.g., placing a cold cup directly into boiling water) to maintain the cup's integrity over time.
