This exceptional piece combines the historic elegance of Song Dynasty Ru Ware with an innovative "Floating" design.

Craftsmanship & Innovative Design
-
Imitation Song Ru Ware Glaze: The ceramic features the iconic Ru Kiln style, celebrated for its "azure as the sky after rain" qualities. The glaze is thick, lustrous, and feels like warm jade, complete with the delicate "cicada-wing" crackle that grows more beautiful with use.
-
"Floating" Lid Design: A unique structural innovation where the lid is designed to sit or "hover" securely on the bowl’s rim in a way that facilitates effortless pouring. This design helps prevent fingers from coming into direct contact with the hot steam, providing a superior anti-scald experience.
-
Yuanbao (Gold Ingot) Shape (元宝): The bowl is subtly shaped like a Yuanbao, an ancient Chinese currency symbolizing wealth, prosperity, and good fortune. This unique silhouette offers a comfortable grip and a distinctive look on the tea table.
Artistic Theme: "Blooming Prosperity"
-
Vibrant Floral Motifs: The "Fan Hua Si Jin" (Blooming Prosperity) theme features intricate, colorful floral patterns that contrast beautifully against the serene Ru Ware background. It symbolizes a bright, flourishing life and success.
-
High-End Aesthetics: The combination of the classic celadon base and the rich, detailed floral art creates a "High-Sense" (Gāojí gǎn) appeal, suitable for formal tea ceremonies or as a sophisticated home decor piece.
Functional Excellence for Kung Fu Tea
-
Superior Heat Retention: The high-quality ceramic material maintains the ideal temperature for brewing a variety of teas, particularly Oolong and Pu-erh.
-
Sancai Ritual: As a traditional three-part set (Lid, Bowl, Saucer), it maintains the ritualistic integrity of Kung Fu tea while offering modern ease of use.
