Each cup is handcrafted over 180 days through 36+ artisanal steps, blending lacquer’s warm luster with Ru porcelain’s elegant serenity. More than a teacup, it’s a piece of living history for your daily tea moments.

The Rarity of Lacquer: An 8,000-Year-Old Craft

Lacquerware’s value starts with its rare raw material. To this day, harvesting raw lacquer uses techniques from 8,000 years ago. Lacquer farmers climb 10+-year-old trees, making precise cuts: “The knife must be sharp—messy cuts kill the tree.” A saying goes: “A kilogram of lacquer needs a hundred li of trees and a thousand cuts”—3,000 trees and one month of labor yield just 1kg of raw lacquer.

Harvesting lacquer is backbreaking work—and artisans’ sincerity shines in the final piece. Precious Southwest China lacquer is used, processed via ancient filtering/refining methods. Mixed with mineral pigments, it’s corrosion-resistant, heat-resistant, water-resistant, non-toxic, and glossy.

FAQ

Artisanal Techniques

Ancient Craft: Hand Pulling the Clay
Hand pulling is a time-honored technique: artisans shape malleable clay on a spinning wheel. Cups made this way have “spirit”—round, natural bases, dense clay bodies (less prone to cracking), and subtle variations in size/shape (making each cup one-of-a-kind).
Ancient Craft: Saggar Wood Firing
Using non-renewable mineral materials and age-old wood-firing techniques, the teacup’s glaze develops a misty, ever-changing hue—like a trace of time.
Gold & Mineral Pigments

Polychrome with Gold, Hand-Polished Lacquer: The surface reveals cloud-like textures—natural, fluid, and regal. Polishing demands perfect focus: “Too little polish loses spirit; too much looks vulgar.”
98% Pure Gold Foil (24K Gold Powder): Applied with ancient techniques for a luminous finish.
Six Mineral Pigments: Blended into lacquer (using materials like pearl powder, indigo, and pine smoke) to make gold foil and mother-of-pearl shimmer brilliantly.

Usage

Recommended for dry brewing (use a tea tray without soaking the cup).
For wet brewing, never let the lacquered outer wall or bottom soak for long—rotate cups to let them “rest”.
Never soak or steam—this harms the lacquer and may cause cracking, shortening the cup’s lifespan.

Maintenance

Avoid heavy impacts.
For dust buildup, gently wipe with a soft cotton cloth or brush.
When cleaning pure lacquerware, avoid any cleaning agents and long soaking.
Keep lacquerware away from direct sunlight; store in a shaded, sealed place for daily maintenance.
For polished lacquerware, take extra care to avoid contact with hard or sharp objects.
