A Ru Yao style teacup with a thick matte-soft glaze in cool white, painted with a gray tabby cat lying on a pink cushion, with a peeled orange, a bowl of oranges, and tea stove, that wraps around one side of the cup. The Chinese characters to the left of the cat translate to “Peace and comfort.”

Made in the antique style of the famous lost Ru Kiln, this teacup’s distinctive thick glaze has a silken matte finish that gives it a warm, soft feel when held. This unique glaze is made with a special recipe originating in the Northern Song Dynasty. Inspired by the gentle character of moonlight, its cool, opaque white color beautifully showcases the color of any tea poured into it. Where the glaze thins at the edge and at the foot of the cup, the contrast of the underlying dark clay provides extra definition and elegance. This high-quality ceramic cup is a good size for either sharing a pot of tea or for single service.

This teacup also comes in other cat styles, including the Cat and Persimmon, Cat and Fan, and Watermelon Cat, as well as the Ru Kiln Black Dragon Teacup and Ru Kiln Golden Toad Teacup.
