I. The Legend of Kiln Fire and the Heritage of Ru Kiln


Ru Kiln, regarded as the top of the Five Great Kilns in the Song Dynasty, holds a pivotal position in the history of Chinese ceramics. Its firing technique originated in the Northern Song Dynasty. By adding precious agate to the glaze, it created a unique sky - blue color reminiscent of "the sky after rain has stopped and the clouds have broken". This glaze color is as warm and smooth as jade, with a delicate texture like congealed fat. Under the illumination of light, it glistens with a soft and enchanting luster, winning the admiration of people around the world. The firing of Ru Kiln porcelain is extremely difficult, with a very low yield rate. Therefore, the number of Ru Kiln treasures handed down in the world is scarce, and each piece is a rare and precious item. This set of tea and beverage utensils is a tribute to the thousand - year - old firing technique of Ru Kiln, presenting the weight of history and the charm of culture right before your eyes.

II. The Treasures of Dunhuang and the Verve of Flying Apsaras


Dunhuang Flying Apsaras, as the symbol of Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes art, are the treasures of ancient Chinese art. Their images are elegant and lively, with graceful postures and flowing ribbons, as if flying from the murals, conveying an endless sense of romance and mystery. This set of tea and beverage utensils has the Dunhuang Flying Apsaras patterns meticulously painted on Ru Kiln ceramics. Each Flying Apsara image is vivid, with smooth lines and bright colors. With exquisite techniques, the painters have vividly presented the verve of the Flying Apsaras. Some hold musical instruments and dance gracefully; some soar in the air, scattering flowers to pray for blessings. These exquisite patterns not only add an artistic beauty to the tea set but also integrate the profoundness of Dunhuang culture. While tasting tea, you can appreciate the charm of a thousand - year - old culture.

III. Ingenious Design and Exquisite Craftsmanship


The production process of this set of tea and beverage utensils is truly remarkable. Every step, from material selection to shaping, from painting to firing, embodies the efforts and wisdom of the artisans.
In terms of material selection, high - quality kaolin is chosen and undergoes fine screening and processing to ensure that the porcelain is delicate and pure. During the shaping process, with their rich experience and superb craftsmanship, the artisans mold the clay into various exquisite shapes, such as teapots, teacups, and tea trays. Each item has smooth lines and a harmonious proportion, demonstrating a unique beauty of form.
The painting process is of utmost importance. The painters use delicate brushstrokes to painstakingly draw the Dunhuang Flying Apsaras patterns on the ceramic blanks stroke by stroke. They skillfully blend rich colors to create hues that complement the Flying Apsaras images, making every detail come to life. After high - temperature firing, the colors and porcelain are perfectly integrated, not only ensuring bright and long - lasting colors but also endowing it with extremely high artistic value.
