The dark red glaze is strongly affected by temperature and flame during firing. The conditions must be exactly right to produce the signature rich and deep dark red glaze. The colour is even more difficult to achieve in combination with ruyao. As a result, the glaze has a very high scrap rate when producing compared to other ruyao glazes.  Lee Shanming first achieved recognition for his jihong glazed porcelain in Jingdezhen before devoting himself to ruyao. Despite his experience with jihong, he very rarely produces red (jihong) ruyao due to the difficulty described above.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLee Shanming has devoted himself to the art of ruyao or \"ru kiln\" for over 15 years. His signature is on the bottom of the cup, it says \"Shan.\" \"Shan\" is the middle character of the artist's name, it means kindness, \"yin\" means to hide yourself. \"Shan Yin\" describes the philosophy of the artist, which is to be kind and to be low key.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eShan 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. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRed ruyao is very difficult and time-consuming to make and has by far the highest scrap-rate for ruyao. Because each piece is completely handmade and fired manually under traditional methods, the colour in different batches might be slightly different. Each cup is a unique piece.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MudandLeaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49218659713243,"sku":null,"price":259.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0539\/0768\/5574\/files\/DSC020302.jpg?v=1788447289","url":"https:\/\/mudandleaves.com\/products\/red-ruyao-chicken-heart-teacup-style-1-%e6%b1%9d%e7%aa%91%e9%9c%81%e7%ba%a2%e9%b8%a1%e5%bf%83%e6%9d%af-105ml","provider":"MudandLeaves","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
