Sky-Blue Ru Kiln Gaiwan with Hand-Painted Peonies

From the Tianqing Ru series, this gaiwan showcases a pure hand-painted peony motif by renowned Jingdezhen artist Xiao Hua. The fine clay body is fired in the classic Ru-kiln style to create a rich, smooth glaze with a soft, lustrous finish—warm and jade-like, as if agate were fused into the surface.

• Origin: Jingdezhen, China
• Craft: Pure hand-painted
• Material: Fine clay body
• Dimensions: 8.5 cm high × 9.3 cm wide / 150 ml capacity

The elegant porcelain provides the perfect backdrop for the lush peony petals, evoking the classic verse: “Only the peony, when in bloom, moves the capital.” With its understated Ru glaze and refined artistry, this gaiwan is both a lovely gift and a beautiful addition to your tea ritual. The subtle crackle glaze continues to evolve with use, adding a wabi-sabi character over time.
