[Mu Chun Life] 200ml Ru Kiln Handmade Wheel-Thrown Teacup Master Cup by Ye Minxiang

→ Product Introduction Regarded as the foremost of the Five Great Kilns of the Song Dynasty, Ru ware is celebrated for its lustrous glaze and its characteristic "condensed fat" finish. Its understated elegance and refined simplicity made it a peerless ceramic masterpiece of the Song era. Master Ye's Ru porcelain features a balanced iron content and controlled reduction firing. The clay body presents a grayish-brown hue, while the glaze shifts between sky blue and powder blue under different lighting, evoking a sense of fusion between the earth and the glaze. The crackles are as fine as fish scales, gradually deepening and becoming more lustrous upon contact with tea. Furthermore, this piece is adorned with a distinct glaze on the cup's rim, mimicking the flow of a landscape painting, imbuing the tea ware with added variation and vitality. The hand-thrown cup shape is rounded and fits comfortably in the hand, showcasing the potter's decades of craftsmanship. → Product Specifications (cm) Ru Porcelain Hand-thrown Tea Cup - Master's Cup Capacity: 200ml 9x9x6 (Length x Width x Height cm) → Purchase Notes * Most products in this design館 are handcrafted, and the glaze or ash fall on each piece will vary, which is part of the charm of ceramic art. Therefore, once a piece is sold out, it will not be restocked, and an identical piece cannot be found. If a piece you like is purchased by someone else, we apologize, but you will need to choose another item from our collection, or contact the designer to see if a similar piece is available. * Dimensions are measured by hand and may have an error of within 0.5 cm. * There may be some marks from the trimming process, as each piece is handmade or semi-handmade, and there will inevitably be some individual differences. * During the production process, the glaze or ash fall may exhibit some unevenness and flow, which is a natural phenomenon. This is precisely what is emphasized in natural glazes; ceramics are inherently natural. If you have any questions about the product, please send us a private message. * Product colors are as true as possible, as the items are photographed in a studio with adjusted lighting and environment, but without any post-production editing. Please refer to the actual product for color accuracy, as discrepancies will not be considered defects. → Artist Introduction 【Master Yeh Min-Hsiang】 Apprenticed under Professor Wu Yu-Tang ◎ Experience 1979 Kiln Department Manager, Sanxi Tang Ceramics Company 1986 Founder, Xiangyi Ceramics Studio 1993 Consultant, Geng Xuan Enterprise Co., Ltd. 1998 Glaze Technology Advisor, Thailand Plant, Xin Zhu Pottery Co., Ltd. 1998 Master, Ceramic Engineering Department, Yingge Vocational High School 2001 Consultant, Shandong Plant, Geng Xuan Enterprise Co., Ltd. 2002 Deputy General Manager, Jiaxing Quanyou Handicraft Products Co., Ltd. 2003 Production Manager, Shanghai Qidong Huatai Ceramics Products Co., Ltd. 2005 Glaze Technology Advisor, Malaysia Specialty Ceramics Company ◎ Exhibited Works 1995 Professor Wu Yu-Tang and Students Joint Exhibition 2010 Crystal Glaze Appraisal Exhibition, Taiwan Ceramics Museum (Title: Crystal Series Six-Color Cups) 2011 New Ceramic Product Appraisal Exhibition, Taiwan Ceramics Museum (Title: Sky Blue Ru Product) 2011 Classic Ceramic Brands Exhibition, Taiwan Ceramics Museum (Title: Crystal Series Six-Color Cups) 2012 Golden Ceramic Art Award, Taiwan Ceramics Museum (Title: Happiness) 2012 Taiwan Excellent Handicraft Appraisal (Title: Happiness) 2012 Taiwan Lifestyle Craft Design Competition - Food Culture Creative Product (Title: Ru Zhong You Yu) 2013 Selected for Taiwan Excellent Handicrafts (Xiangyi Ceramics Studio) 2013 Yingge Ceramics Brand Plan - Specialty Tableware Appraisal Exhibition (Sky Blue - Lucky Tea Set) 2013 Yingge Ceramics Brand Plan - Specialty Tableware Appraisal Exhibition (Tianmu Iron Spot Glaze Bowl) 2013 Certificate of Taiwan Excellent Handicrafts Appraisal (Tea Flower Pattern Incense Plate) 2014 Taiwan Creative Life Ceramic New Product Appraisal Exhibition - (Curved Pattern Pot Tea Set) 2014 Yingge Ceramics Brand Plan - Trademark Licensing Appraisal - (Tea Flower Pattern Incense Plate) 2014 Yingge Ceramics Brand Plan - Trademark Licensing Appraisal - (Perfect Tea Set) 2014 Yingge Ceramics Brand Plan - Trademark Licensing Appraisal - (Tea Leaf Green Glazed Covered Cup) 2014 Top Ten New Taipei City Excellent Souvenirs, Creative Lifestyle Group Award - (Happiness Tea Set) 2015 Yingge Ceramics Brand Plan - Trademark Licensing Appraisal - (Elegant Pot) 2015 Yingge Ceramics Brand Plan - Trademark Licensing Appraisal - (Tianmu Cup - Gold, Red Gold, Green Gold, 3 models) 2015 Yingge Ceramics Brand Plan - Trademark Licensing Appraisal - (Happiness Tea Set) 2016 Top Ten New Taipei City Excellent Souvenirs, Creative Lifestyle Group Award - (Lucky Tea Set) 2020 "2020 New Taipei City Specialty Products Selection" - Nominated in the "Good Living Items" category for "Covered Bowl Tea Ware" 2021 Yingge Ceramics Brand Plan - Trademark Licensing Appraisal - (Natural Glaze Coffee Filter Cup) 2022 National Taiwan Craft Research and Development Center - Taiwan Green Craft Selection - (Natural Glaze Coffee Filter Cup) 2023 National Taiwan Craft Research and Development Center - Taiwan Green Craft Selection - (Maze Filter Cup) 2023 National Taiwan Craft Research and Development Center - Taiwan Green Craft Selection - (Small Yuan Cup) 2025 "Where Things Belong" - Lifestyle Ritual Exhibition (Natural Glaze Coffee Filter Cup) → Design馆 Story Located in Yingge, Taiwan, our ceramic studio is deeply rooted in Taiwan for both design and production, offering aesthetically pleasing and practical ceramic coffee ware.
