Shan Kiln ruyao has a glow and a depth that are a result of the ruyao glaze recipes of the studio. When firing the pottery, and as the body expands, crazing appears on the surface of the glaze. These 开片 or "opening cracks," are found on all ruyao and will expand on the glaze with use. They give each piece its unique character.

These are handmade by Master Lee ShanMing 李善明. He has devoted himself to ru kiln products for nearly two decades.

All pieces are delivered in a gift box.

A wonderful work of art.

Master Lee ShanMing’s things are popular, and I scored this one right before it sold out. It appears I got the exact one in the picture, because the cracking pattern is identical, as is the slightly lopsided spout.
It’s hard to capture the colour of Ruyao on camera. It has a life of its own that has to be experienced in person.
The texture is another special feature, shiny, smooth and matte all at the same time. A delight to hold in the hand!
I’m using it right now and while I was not impressed with the pour when initially washing it, it’s taken me less than one tea session to get used to. It’s just different from my other gongdaobei which pours quick and forward, whereas this one pours more slowly and a bit backward, for lack of a better term.
All things considered, a true work of art by a great master that I am glad I added to my collection.
