Description

Introduction

A fair cup in green celadon to match celadon gaiwans and cups.

Specifications

Craftsmanship

Celadon owes its green colour to a small amount of iron in the glaze, fired in a reduction (low-oxygen) atmosphere. Longquan-style celadon is known for thick, soft glazes; where the glaze is thinner, over edges and carving, the colour becomes lighter. Shade varies from firing to firing.

How to Use

Pour each infusion from the gaiwan or teapot into the fair cup first, then share it into tasting cups so everyone gets the same strength.

Care

Wash by hand with warm water and a soft sponge; avoid abrasive scourers. Do not expose to sudden temperature changes. Hand-made and hand-painted pieces vary slightly in colour, pattern and size; photos are for reference.
