A pot of sky-blue glaze, concealing the charm of the Song Dynasty.

Inspired by the rounded, full form of an apple, this apple-shaped teapot features a sky-blue Ru-style glaze. Its soft, flowing lines create a steady yet dynamic appearance. The minimalist silhouette, combined with the warm sky-blue glaze, embodies the subtle and elegant aesthetics of the Song Dynasty.

Crafted using raw materials sourced from Ruzhou, it incorporates the traditional agate-in-glaze technique and is fired in a reducing atmosphere at high temperatures, resulting in a soft, layered sky-blue hue. The glaze surface is delicate and lustrous, with a jade-like warmth that shifts with the play of light and shadow.

During firing and everyday use, the glaze develops natural crackle patterns. The density, direction, and depth of the crackle are formed naturally by the kiln fire, making each apple teapot slightly different, with its own unique texture and charm.
