Ruyao Classic Pancake Teapot 145ml

An aqua Ruyao glazed teapot with a flat pancake shape, this adorable 145 ml teapot is the perfect accompaniment to Taiwanese oolongs and Sheng Pu Erh. Made in the Ruyao tradition, this teapot will craze with use and leave a delightful crackle pattern behind. Ruyao always conjures a mental image of smooth, pale jade colored ceramic with a delicate crackle and has been a popular Chinese teaware glaze since the Song Dynasty (960-1279 CE), and this charming reproduction is no exception.  We recommend dedicating this small teapot to one type of large leaf tea, like lightly oxidized oolongs or Sheng Pu Erh, as over time the teapot will begin to absorb the flavors and aromas of your favorite teas.
