Vintage Chinese Blue & White Intertwined Lotus Ru Ware Master Teacup - 80ml Gongfu Tasting Cup
The ClayZenith Blue & White Intertwined Lotus Ru Ware Master Teacup (80ml) fuses Ming underglaze cobalt scrolls (Chanzhi Lian) with Song iron-celadon crackle glazing. It offers a tactile, living canvas that nurtures an antique golden tea patina.
Underglaze Cobalt Inlay & Living Ru Celadon Crackle

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Does the underglaze cobalt pattern interfere with the crackle glaze?
No. The cobalt is hand-painted directly onto the greenware and fused beneath the celadon glass layer, allowing crackle lines to develop smoothly over the surface.
