Celadon porcelain is created by applying a glaze with specific iron oxide content before firing, resulting in its distinctive greenish hue. The unique shades of celadon vary, influenced by the iron content in the clay body and glaze, as well as the degree of reduction firing during production. Lu Yu 陆羽, the revered Tang Dynasty tea sage and "Tea God" of China, famously described celadon as resembling jade and ice, proclaiming it the most ideal ware to complement the color of tea.
This tea cup features a serene celadon shade, reminiscent of fresh spring reeds. Its perfectly rounded form, uniform glaze, and radiant luster exude a quiet elegance, offering a subtle brightness that evokes the freshness of spring and summer.
