The Ge kiln emerged in the mid-to-late Southern Song Dynasty and is renowned as one of the five famous kilns, alongside the famous official kilns of Guan, Ru, Ding, and Jun. The Ge kiln is a subclass of celadon, a distinctive form of Longquan celadon ,characterized by the "crackled glaze" pattern that developed during its production. The Ge kiln in the Song Dynasty was an official kiln, reserved exclusively for the royal court, with its techniques kept strictly confidential. As a result, surviving Ge kiln pieces from the Song Dynasty are extremely rare today.
One of the defining features of Ge kiln glaze is the "golden thread and iron wire" pattern, where the crackled lines vary in thickness—from coarse like iron wire to fine like silk thread, interwoven and displaying endless variations. Over time, this crackle pattern becomes even more pronounced in tea wares, resembling the intertwining of golden threads and iron wires, offering a unique aesthetic value.
The shape of the cup featuring daisy blossom, a very distintive and rare design. The cicada's wings-like crackles lines and the tea-leaf color giving it a vintage, classical, and dignified look.
