The Rarest Glaze in Chinese Ceramics - Complete Gift Set
Sky After Rain Ru Kiln Tea Set | Luxury Ceramic Gift Set
Teapot + 2 cups + tea caddy + gift box. The iconic sky-after-rain celadon glaze with delicate crackle pattern - a tea ceremony set worthy of the finest collections.
Ru Kiln: The Emperor's Glaze
Ru ware was produced for only 20 years during the Northern Song Dynasty (1086-1106). The imperial court demanded this specific sky-blue color - 'the color of the sky after rain.' Original Ru pieces are now worth millions at auction. Our set recreates this legendary glaze.
Ice-Crackle Glaze Pattern
The distinctive crackle pattern forms as the glaze cools faster than the clay body, creating a network of fine cracks. Over time, tea stains penetrate these cracks, creating a unique patina that records every brewing session - your set evolves with use.
Gift sets that look cheap and feel forgettable?

The Ru kiln legend - an imperial glaze recreation in a complete, giftable tea ceremony set.
THE DETAILS THAT MATTER
The most famous color description in Chinese ceramics: yu guo tian qing (the sky after rain). Achieved through iron reduction firing at 1200 degrees C. The translucent, jade-like quality of the glaze is what made original Ru ware priceless.
The fine crackle network is a feature, not a defect. Tea pigments seep into the cracks over time, creating a golden-brown patina that develops over months and years - your set tells your tea story.
Includes: teapot (180ml), 2 tasting cups (50ml each), tea caddy with lid, and premium gift box. Everything needed for a complete gongfu tea ceremony - ready to gift.

🔥 RU KILN IS THE HARDEST TO FIRE
The sky-blue celadon requires precise reduction firing at exactly 1200 degrees C. A 10-degree deviation ruins the color. The crackle pattern must be controlled, not random. The defect rate is 50% or higher.
