Command your tea table with this majestic 120ml Ru Ware Antique Finish "Pixiu" Master Cup. A spectacular showcase of contrasting textures, this collector-grade vessel seamlessly bridges the soft, ethereal silkiness of Song Dynasty-style Ru Kiln (汝窑) glaze with the raw, rustic power of an unglazed clay relief.
The Spirit, Craft, and Symbology:
The Myth of the Pixiu (招财辟邪): In ancient folklore, the Pixiu is a fierce, winged mythical protector known for its insatiable appetite for gold, silver, and jewels—yet it possesses no exit, symbolizing wealth pouring in from all sides and never leaving. It serves as an auspicious guardian for your home and finances.
Masterful Textural Contrast: The Pixiu is left as raw, iron-rich dark clay biscuit, creating a rugged, tactile 3D relief that stands out dramatically against the glossy, moon-like smoothness of the surrounding antique天青 (sky-blue) glaze.
The "Purple Rim" Antique Finish: Crafted with an authentic historical recipe, the glaze features a soft-satin antique finish. It thins organically at the lip rim, subtly revealing a purple-brown tint (紫口), a revered trait found in heirloom imperial ceramics.
Substantial 120ml Command: With its wide-bellied profile and satisfying weight in the hand, this 120ml master cup is engineered for long, reflective tea sessions. It acts as an excellent thermal stabilizer for heavy-fermented teas.
