A fine white Ru kiln tea cup (100ml) with an illustration of a cat that is clearly enjoying the outdoor weather.
Crackle glaze
This cup is finished with a crackle glaze, which is a kind of glaze that is intentionally cracked. Such pattern is also known as ‘crazing’ and is achieved through thermal expansion mismatch. In simple words, when the cup cools, the glaze starts to shrink more than the body, and as a result the glaze starts to crack.
Summer cat
The studio where this tea cup is made calls this cup ‘Summer Cat’ as a cat is depicted who’s enjoying the Summer weather outdoors with on its left a tree branch with leaves and on its right a tea set on tray.
